From the intro to the release of the song, “The Columbus High drama teacher has written a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet to be performed as the spring musical. Gia is the star of the shows at school and has such a claim on the lead roles that usually no one else dares to even audition. Malaya...
[Verse 1]
If I tell you that I like your skirt I mean it
Anyone can sit with me if you can play the game
Am I a mean girl? I don't know, I've never seen it
I just don't let anyone get in my way
I've been singing since I was two
So don't tell me I'm entitled
I've been Tree Number Three, Ensemble Queen, I've payed my dues
But this girl thinks she can rival
[Pre-Chorus]
Honestly, I think it's cute, how adorable
You think you stand a chance, call me deplorable
But I think you're confused
And a little over zealous
No, I'm not jealous
[Chorus]
I'm just
The Leading Lady in her pink Mercedes
She looks like Meg, but she acts like Hades
A hot, hot mama but a Broadway Baby
Kinda shady but still a lady
You may hate me 'cause I'm
The Ingénue in her Louis Vuitton shoes
Never misses a mark, so she won't miss you
EMC points, plenty but her flaws are few
And ooh, she won't be miscast
I just couldn't take it
You know, all this triggers me back to Kindergarten
Ms. Mandy's
The class production was
"Bugs in the Garden"
And I wanted to be the lead
[Verse 2]
The Butterfly, that's the part I had my eye on
The best role, and she had the most lines
I'd sneak into the wardrobe every day at lunch and try on
The wings (They were stunning on me.)
I rehearsed all the lines
Down to every face and every movement
Brrt
Audition day, I had so much pride
I knew no one else in class could do it
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the cast list went up, I'm forsaken
Noelle had booked the part
She had taken my dream, it broke my heart
So then I made a promise
One day I would astonish
[Chorus]
'Cause I'd be
The Leading Lady in her pink Mercedes
She looks like Meg, but she acts like Hades
A hot, hot mama but a Broadway Baby
Kinda shady but still a lady
You may hate me but
I'm a diva, is that so bad
My queen Beyoncé taught me that
I'm no LeToya in the back
I'm the main event
So watch out now, 'cause Gia's had it
To my list, your name's been added
You are sweet, but I'm
The butterfly
Hahaha
I'm the Butterfly
Hahaha
I'm the But-ter-fly
