Venus Fly Trap Lyrics
[Intro]
Whatever you give life, you will get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
[Verse 1]
I never quite fit in to that Hollywood thing (Ah)
I didn't play that game for the money or the fame (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I did it my way, baby
Nothing in this world could change me
[Chorus]
Don't underestimate me 'cause one day, you're gonna see
You're in a losing battle, babe, you'll never stop me being me
I got the beauty, got the brains
Got the power, hold the reins
I should be motherfucking crazy
Nothing in this world could change me
[Verse 2]
I sacrificed it all for a life to call mine
All the love and security to be myself, oh, I
I know that money ain't important (Ah)
And it don't mean you're the best (Ooh)
But I earned it all myself
And I'm a millionairess
[Pre-Chorus]
I did it my way, baby
Nothing in this world could change me
[Chorus]
Don't underestimate me 'cause one day, you're gonna see
You're in a losing battle, babe, you'll never stop me being me
I got the beauty, got the brains
Got the power, hold the reins
I should be motherfucking crazy
Nothing in this world could change me
[Bridge]
They'll shame you, blame you, pretend to even hate you
Take away your rights, pacify you with their lies
Whatever you give life, you are gonna get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
[Chorus]
Don't underestimate me 'cause one day, you're gonna see
You're in a losing battle, babe, you'll never stop me being me
'Cause whatever you give life, you're gonna get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
[Outro]
Nothing in this world, ooh
Nothing in this world could change me
