Crocodile Tears

Yea I know I look pretty
With a smile on my face
But I'm too loud and too quiet
So I can't win the race
And when I feel like crying
It's like I'm in the wrong
These tears don't become me
But if I smile, I look strong

I tell myself it ain't real
I should man up to become the ideal
It's the paradox of how I should feel
I don't like that it implies
I should be more like the guys

Not so dramatic, you say
My feelings are just a disguise
And I'm so dramatic, you say
I've got crocodile tears in my eyes

I know that I can be flirty
But I can't be too much
They tell me can u be sexy for me
But don't let nobody touch
And I should be ambitious
But I can't act like the boss
So I be walking on eggshells
Cos there are lines I can't cross

I tell myself that I'm free
Wrap me up and put a label on me
It's the paradox of what I should be
And when I don't that like it implies
I should be less like the guys

Now I'm dramatic, you say
My feelings are just a disguise
And I'm so dramatic, you say
I've got crocodile tears in my eyes

You ain't got nothing on me
Telling me who I should be
You ain't got nothing on me
Imma just set myself free
