[Intro: Anne-Marie]
Ugh

[Verse 1: Anne-Marie, MINNIE]
There was a time when I couldn't
Stop loving you so much
Haven't seen that me for so long
Forgot I shouldn't care
I sang "*** di di," who I used to be
Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown, you couldn't lift

[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie]
You want me to act a certain way
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
To know they can't control me each day
Enjoy the pain

[Chorus: Both, MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I don't need your expectations
Made the bricks to pave my way
*** that Grammy nomination
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
We just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
All on your own
Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that

[Verse 2: MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I can't ever hate you
But had to let you go
Changing myself for your ego
And selfish pride stops there
I sang "Karate," who I used to be
Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown, you couldn't lift

[Pre-Chorus: MINNIE]
You want me to act a certain way
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
To know they can't control me each day
Enjoy the pain

[Chorus: Both, MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I don't need your expectations
Made the bricks to pave my way
*** that Grammy nomination
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
We just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
All on your own
Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that

[Bridge: Anne-Marie]
I can't lie, say it was easy
Each day alone filled me with fear
But here I stand tall
My face to the crowd

[Chorus: MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I don't need your expectations
Made the bricks to pave my way
*** that Grammy nomination
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
We might just meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
All on your own
Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that
