Strawberry by Emily Reo Lyrics
[Hook 1]
Sometimes, it feels like I'm swimming with sharks
Just reading books by myself in the park
And when I'm walking alone after dark
I don't want your yell, don't shout me out
[Verse 1]
Over my headphones, I hear you telling me to smile
And then, you reach for me, bit in the ocean, bleeding
Where is your self control? Now, you've been talking for a while
You don't even let me speak, you think you know everything
[Bridge 1]
The days I've patiently waited
While things I know are clarified or debated
[Hook 2]
Your eyes close when you talk about champagne
My eyes roll back so far, I see my brain
And there is so much you try to explain
That I don't wanna know, oh, oh (Keep to yourself)
[Verse 2]
I load into the show, you ask if I'm somebody's girlfriend
Not seen as capable, just someone's property
[Bridge 2]
The days I've patiently waited
While you miscalculated
I don't owe you anything
[Hook 3]
You stand in front of me, blocking the view
But I'll climb ladders to see over you
And if there's something you think I can't do
Don't need your company, don't knock me down
[Bridge 3]
What do you deserve from me? N-O-T-H-I-N-G
Why do you always have to be so C-R-Y-P-T-I-C?
Save the calls for my kitty: C-H-A-R-L-I-E
Wish you had earned that Ph.D in R-E-S-P-E-C-T
How many girls in this city are getting T-I-R-E-D?
Finding a sense of security through H-I-D-I-N-G
Wish I could swim, but I'm in your teeth, B-L-E-E-D-I-N-G
Wish you had earned that Ph.D in R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Don't owe you anything)
[Coda]
Na na na na-na-na, na na na na
(What do you deserve from me? N-O-T-H-I-N-G)
Na na na na-na-na, na na na na
(Why do you always have to be so C-R-Y-P-T-I-C?)
Na na na na-na-na, na na na na
(Save the calls for my kitty, C-H-A-R-L-I-E)
Na na na na-na-na, na na na na
(Wish you had earned that PhD in R-E-S-P-E-C-T)
Don't owe you anything (Don't shout me out)
Sometimes, it feels like I'm swimming with sharks
Just reading books by myself in the park
And when I'm walking alone after dark
I don't want your yell, don't shout me out
[Verse 1]

And then, you reach for me, bit in the ocean, bleeding
Where is your self control? Now, you've been talking for a while
