[Verse 1]
Why do you care what people think?
Are you hooked up to their leash?
You know anklebiters
Ate up your personality
Try to remember how it felt
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters
Chew up, spit out someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Fall in love with yourself
Because
[Chorus]
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
[Verse 2]
What do you actually expect?
A broken mirror to reflect?
You know anklebiters
Gave you a false perception
And why do I (C'mon, c'mon)
Defend your ignorance?
Oh, why do I (C'mon, c'mon)
Defend the state you're in?
[Pre-Chorus]
You should fall in love with yourself
Oh, again
Fall in love with yourself
Because
[Chorus]
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
[Outro]
Anklebiters! Anklebiters!
Someday you're gonna be alone
Anklebiters! Anklebiters!

Williams told Spin magazine:
To me, there was this thread throughout the album of wanting to be able to grow up and move forward. And when you do that in your life, there’s always people that are going to try to hold you back. Or they’re going to try to tell you, ‘You don’t need to do this, because...
Hayley Williams told MTV News:
The title came first, which never happens, but I just thought, I liked the term ‘Anklebiters,’ when you’re talking about kids or babies.
Ankle-biter is a jocular but altogether friendly term for a small child, reflecting the anarchic violence of which such diminutive...
