A gripping ode to those who have tried to level her significance as a woman, and an anthem to those who have felt as trivialized and torn down by their own experiences, Sweetheart is Rebecca Black’s most daring and empowered move yet.
[Intro]
La la, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la
[Verse 1]
Do you wanna know a secret?
I know that you'll never keep it
Promise, try to keep it simple for you (La la)
High up in the clouds like you're so special
Like I've never heard that before
Gotta break it to you gentle
[Pre-Chorus]
But maybe I don't
Maybe, maybe I won't
Be the nice guy for once
(You passed the point of my graces)
You think you're so cool
Acting like the fucking dude
Words spilling out like a fool
(I feel sorry for you)
[Chorus]
Don't call me your sweetheart
Actually, don't call me at all
Buried that girl in the backyard
Bet you didn't think I'd take it that far
Don't call me a sweetheart
Shit like that makes my skin crawl
Buried that girl in the backyard
Bet you didn't think I'd take it that far
[Post-Chorus]
La la, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la
[Bridge]
I'm so much happier without you
Sucking up all of my energy, now I can finally breathe
[Chorus]
Don't call me your sweetheart
Actually, don't call me at all
Buried that girl in the backyard
Bet you didn't think I'd take it that far
Don't call me your sweetheart
Shit like that makes my skin crawl
Buried that girl in the backyard
Bet you didn't think I'd take it that far
[Post-Chorus]
La la, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la
(Graces)
La, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la, la la la la la la
La la
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you're so cool
Acting like the fucking dude
Words spilling out like a fool
(You passed the point of my graces)
[Chorus]
Don't call me your sweetheart
Actually, don't call me at all
Buried that girl in the backyard
Bet you didn't think I'd take it that far
Don't call me your sweetheart
Shit like that makes my skin crawl
Buried that girl in the backyard
Bet you didn't think I'd take it that far
[Post-Chorus]
La la, la la la la la la, la la
(Graces)
La la, la la la la la la, la la
(Don't, don't call me your sweetheart)
La la, la la la la la la, la la
(Graces)
La la, la la la la la la, la la
