Lanessa Long - Cool Creature Lyrics

Leave a knife underneath my pillow
The lock is broken it's too hot to close the window
It'd be so chic to like myself better
But I don't have it in me to compete with those go-getters
I love someone
Who gets how to flatter
Could cut me by the throat if he brings me flowers after
Raise your hand if you got an answer
I would go right now but I'm a sucker for a slacker
And a big time fan of a little tension
I would go right now but I love you paying attention
So call me out
I'm a parent in the bleachers
I cheer for you to win just cause I got you those sneakers
Write my name next to I need her
You'll love how I breakdown, see
It's my best feature

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

I don't have a crush
I've got a whole smattering
It doesn't take much if you get how to flatter me
Can't say it to you solo
So instead I host a gathering
People love it when you've struggled but not while it's happening
Nobody at this party knows
Who I threw it for and who I hope will go
And leave us here, you and me alone
The lights will flicker out and then we'll fall to the floor
No - where'd my confidence go
Thought I was getting close, but no
Turns out I need a little more rope

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Please don't try to mother me
I'd rather have you love me, than love looking up to me
I like myself
So why do I count these calories
People love it when you're broken but not while you're shattering
It'd be so sick to not like this picture
The one where everybody says, damn, did you get thinner
No, just been depressed
But I'm glad you like it, yeah, I tried my best
Whoa, I actually like it when I'm thicker
Put your hands around my ribs then peel them off like they're a sticker
On a tangerine
You got while getting groceries
I love how you look at me yeah, it's really like you notice me
Whoa what's this another banger
Does it matter what you wear if you don't have a nice hanger

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

But you'll love how I breakdown, see
I'm a cool creature
See
I'm a cool creature
