Lake Street Dive - What About Me lyrics

You might think you understand What turns a boy into a man You gotta search alone and worthy But that'll make a lonely girl That has the top and that rules the world A king who choose his crown over his queen Before he gets the notion he doesn't need you Before the motion grows your plan proceeds to Say what about me Say what about me Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street Well my oh my, don't you realize One thing should be on your mind What about me You meet his friends you meet his folks You love his songs you love his jokes You show him all the moves he's never seen Then you take his will away You never go a single day without asking him With whom or where he's been You do it all to show him what he's worth The last things it's about is helping her Say what about me Say what about me Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street Well my oh my, don't you realize One thing should be on your mind What about me I have lived a privileged life But I have seen my share of strife And nothing beats the boy that's leaving me I might have pushed a little hard I might have took it way too far But you've got respect consistency That's why the next time I won't wait to fall You know me, I won't hesitate to Say what about me Say what about me Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street Well my oh my, don't you realize One thing should be on your mind What about me
