Queen of Mean

Right…

Let’s not pretend I’m nice.

I don’t do warm.

I do accurate.

---

Don’t smile for cameras, I invoice time

If you’re confused, love, that’s not my crime

I don’t chase favours, I don’t explain

If you’re offended, that’s still not pain

Say I’m sharp-tongued, say I’m cold

Truth is heavy, can’t be sold

I don’t sugarcoat, I don’t sweeten tea

If it stings a bit — that’s honesty

---

They say “tone it down”, I say “raise the bar”

I didn’t come this far to pretend I care who you are

---

I'm a bitch (such a bitch)

I'm a bitch (Yeah, that's me)

Such a bitch (Such a bitch)

I'm a bitch (such a bitch)

I'm a bitch (the bitch)

The Queen of Mean…

Call me difficult, write it down

Funny how I still run the town

I don’t shout, I don’t scream

I just watch you spiral silently

They want kindness, I give them facts

They want comfort, I give them stats

If confidence scares you half to death

That’s not my flaw, that’s your depth

---

Funny how “strong” becomes “too much”

When I don’t need you, your praise, or your touch

---

I'm a bitch (such a bitch)

I'm a bitch (Own it, babe)

Such a bitch (Say it again)

I'm a bitch (such a bitch)

I'm a bitch (the bitch)

The Queen of Mean…

---

I’m not cruel, I’m selective

Not rude, just perceptive

I don’t owe you charm or grace

I owe myself first place

Crown fits tight, spine stays straight

I don’t do nice — I dominate

---

I'm a bitch (still a bitch)

I'm a bitch (never sorry)

Such a bitch (check the mirror)

I'm a bitch (history)

I'm a bitch (the bitch)

The Queen of Mean…

If that bothers you…

Good.
