"Melon Cake" lyrics - DEMI LOVATO

DEMI LOVATO
"Melon Cake"

There was a time
I was livin' as a prisoner inside my own mind
And there was a time
Where the cat and mouse tried to make me
Barbie sized and I obliged

[Pre-Chorus:]
Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat
People out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat (It's a true story)
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
People always hung around who only want it skin-deep

[Chorus:]
And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
You could find me starvin' for attention most days
Amongst other things, God help me
Finally get to do things my way
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
No more melon cake

There was a time
I was pulled in all directions and forgot about mine
But I wouldn't wish
Those thoughts on my worst enemy, they make you wish you don't exist

[Pre-Chorus:]
Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat
People out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
People always hung around who only want it skin-deep

[Chorus:]
And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
You could find me starvin' for attention most days
Amongst other things, God help me
Finally get to do things my way
Ah, la-la, la-la, la

[Post-Chorus:]
No more melon cake
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
No more melon cake
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
No more melon cake
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
No more melon cake
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)

[Bridge:]
Dear little me
I'm sorry that it took so long
But baby, you're free

[Chorus:]
And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
You could find me starvin' for attention most days
Amongst other things, God help me
Finally get to do things my way
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
No more melon cake
