Marina & The Diamonds Album

You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside you're just a little baby, oh

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than loved, loved, loved
For what you're not

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins

Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing

I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power off?
I let the drum beat drop

Guess what? I am not a robot
Guess what? I am not a robot

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Use to be a major scale
But the melody went stale
Musical cacophony let
Insy Winsy spider free

Your a rich little boy
Who's had to work for his toys
You've got all sensibilities, oh
Of an upper class guy

No, no, I'm not your little slave
No, I don't twist and turn that way
Only got bad things to say

You're always asking what is up, up with me
Could never tell you what happened the day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Oh, seventeen, seventeen

Oh, you were embarrassed of me
'Cause I used my tongue freely
Bet you wish I couldn't speak
'Cause when I do you know
I tell you why you appear weak

You wanna have some free life
Go get your upper class wife
Now she's got all personalities of a lemon
That has been truly sucked dry

You teach me how to behave
I felt you question the way
I was brought up as a baby
Well, you don't know fuck about my family

Could never tell you what happened the day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Oh, seventeen, oh, seventeen, oh, seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Oh, seventeen

Never felt like a princess
I use to kill myself in this dress
That it was just how things were meant to be
Oh, seventeen, seventeen

Lately I have realised
That I need to simplify
Thoughts pass like ships in the sky
Do, or do not, there is no try

Chorus:
Life became complicated
When modern times arrived
Board games are underrated (Monopoly is underrated)
I want a different life
They say, well get out of the city
We say, well there's no such thing
As a house in the country (in the country)

I am trying to rectify
Habits that clog up my mind
No time to be meek and mild
Live simply like a child

(chorus repeat)

Simplify, your life
Simplify, life
