[Verse 1]
It's not my fault
I was raised by open mouths and teary eyes
Passive wistful lullabies
I found my worth in this world
By proving I'm a special girl
Time and time again
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet irony
Could not care less if you love me
But hate me first, yeah make me work; that's perfect
Baby I'm a funny thing
I'm walking if it doesn't sting
Heartbreak only means that it was worth it
Oh, I think I was doomed before I began
Mmm sorry, I just know the way that I am
Oh well
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
So this is it now
Twenty seven, I still count everyone I kiss
(Mwah) The bitter ones still taste the bеst
Talk and tap to find a crack
Prise open till my nails turn black
Time and timе again
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet irony
Could not care less if you love me
But hate me first, yeah make me work, that's perfect
Baby I'm a funny thing
I'm walking if it doesn't sting
Heartbreak only means that it was worth it
Oh, I think I was doomed before I began
Mmm sorry, I just know the way that I am
Wow!
[Outro]
