[Verse 1]
I was nine and talking to God in the shower
I knew he was busy, said "Sorry to bother
But why am I so bad at being pretty like my mother?"
I wanted to please her
Guess I've always been a people pleaser
[Chorus]
I tried to be quiet, play nice
But I knew I wasn't doing it right
And I cried, wiped my eyes, and then smiled
'Cause they didn't know I was living a lie
I don't know when it happened
But I don't wanna be your cheer captain
[Verse 2]
I shouldn't have called, I know he's probably busy
And when he fu*ks me over I'll say that I'm sorry
And then I'll take it all off so he says that he wants me
'Cause I'm a people pleaser
[Verse 3]
And now he's doing lines with the boys on a Monday
Showed up at my house, all strung out, like, a day late
Watched his stupid band at the club, no one else came
I'm a people pleaser but I don't want to be her
[Chorus]
I tried to be quiet, play nice
But I knew I wasn't doing it right
And I cried, wiped my eyes, and then smiled
'Cause they didn't know I was living a lie
I don't know when it happened
But I don't wanna be your cheer captain
[Outro]
How did I let it happen?
I don't wanna be your cheer captain
I was so sad then
I don't wanna be your cheer captain
Wish that I knew then
That I don't wanna be your cheer captain
