Don’t Look At Me! is about Gladstone’s experiences being looked at strangely, sexually, or funnily on the street due to her youth and appearance. She conveys in the song that she is done with being stared at and will stare and fight back.
[Verse 1]
I can’t take two steps along the street
Without turning hella heads, I think they’re onto me
I go about my business, I’m discrete
But they yearnin’ for my life, information on she
[Chorus]
It’s a beautiful day
So I dont care that
You can't look away
And I’mma stare back
[Verse 2]
Back and forth my body and your feet
Having trouble choosing between longing and your needs
You look me up and down like I’m a treat
Thinking I don’t see the way your fantasies unleashed
I stare ahead so far away
So I don’t meet your gaze
Beware of lonely men
[Chorus]
It’s a beautiful day
So I dont care that
You can't look away
And I’mma stare back
[Bridge]
Oh I’m only young
Be careful where your mind travels, unraveling
Your dignity, impurity
Spare yourself the trouble
You ain't getting nowhere near my bubble
I’m not flattered I’mma kick you to the rubble
Go about my day my vision turns into a tunnel
I’mma live my life cause
[Chorus]
It’s a beautiful day
So I dont care that
You can't look away
And I’mma stare back
