I FEEL LIKE BEING A BITCH TODAY

I FEEL LIKE BEING A BITCH TODAY

I woke up late, ignored my phone

Left three good manners back at home

Put on the boots you said were “too much”

So naturally, I wore them just because

Coffee black and patience thin

Don’t ask me where the hell I’ve been

You’ve got opinions? That’s adorable

Today I’m feeling highly unemployable

I could be sweet

I could behave

I could smile politely

And make your day

But why the hell would I do that?

I feel like being a bitch today

Gonna say what I want in exactly my way

Roll my eyes if the mood feels right

Wear too much lipstick and stay out all night

I don’t need permission

I don’t need praise

I don’t need somebody fixing my ways

If being myself gets under your skin

Baby, buckle up

I’m just getting in

I feel like being a bitch today

Don’t tell me, “Maybe tone it down”

I didn’t dress up to blend in with the crowd

You can clutch your pearls, you can shake your head

I’ll probably do it twice instead

I’m not mad, I’m entertained

Watching everybody trying to complain

About a woman who won’t play nice

Honey, your discomfort isn’t my advice

I know the rules

I read the room

I simply chose

Not to give a damn about you

I feel like being a bitch today

Gonna say what I want in exactly my way

Roll my eyes if the mood feels right

Wear too much lipstick and stay out all night

I don’t need permission

I don’t need praise

I don’t need somebody fixing my ways

If being myself gets under your skin

Baby, buckle up

I’m just getting in

I feel like being a bitch today

Maybe tomorrow

I’ll be a delight

Maybe tomorrow

I’ll let you be right

Maybe tomorrow

I’ll soften the edge

But today?

No.

Today I’m wearing heels on the ledge

I FEEL LIKE BEING A BITCH TODAY

And there ain’t a damn thing you’re gonna say

I’ll laugh too loud, take up my space

Put that little shocked look right back on your face

I don’t need permission

I already came

I’m not gonna shrink so you feel less ashamed

Call me difficult

Call me insane

Call me whatever helps you explain

Why I don’t bend

Why I don’t break

Why I don’t care what you think today

So save your lecture

Save your breath

Save that disappointed little look for someone else

Tomorrow I might give a shit

But not today

Nope

Not today.
