Intro
(Spoken over delicate piano, then strings creep in)
They love to call me dramatic…
Like it’s a bad thing.
Honey, I was born in the storm.
Watch me make lightning look pretty.
Verse 1
I walk in the room, temperature shifts
Every eye on me, yeah, I know what it is
They whisper “extra,” I smile and flip my hair
If feeling everything deeply is a crime, lock me up right there
I cry in the mirror, then wipe off the pain
Turn tears into diamonds, wear ‘em in the rain
You call it a scene, I call it my truth
I don’t do quiet, I was built for the proof
Pre-Chorus
You say I’m too much, I say you’re too small
Can’t handle the fire, don’t answer the call
I rise from the ashes, heels ten feet tall
Watch me turn the drama into protocol
Chorus
I’m dramatic, dramatic—bow down to the show
Every heartbeat a drumline, everywhere that I go
Tears fall like confetti, pain turns to gold
I’m dramatic, dramatic—queen of the overload
Love me or leave me, but don’t dim the lights
I shine in the chaos, I thrive in the fight
Dramatic, dramatic—watch me own the night
Yeah, I’m dramatic… and it feels so right
Verse 2
You tried to play small, keep me in the background
But silence ain’t my language, I speak thunder out loud
Every scar got a story, every wound got a crown
I wear all my feelings like a custom gown
They say “calm down,” I turn up the sound
If passion’s a problem, I’ll burn the whole town
I love too hard, fight too fierce
But I’d rather break open than live in arrears
Pre-Chorus
You say I’m too much, I say you’re too scared
Can’t ride in the whirlwind, then stay over there
I’m the storm and the shelter, the wound and the prayer
Watch me turn the drama into millionaire
Chorus
I’m dramatic, dramatic—bow down to the show
Every heartbeat a drumline, everywhere that I go
Tears fall like confetti, pain turns to gold
I’m dramatic, dramatic—queen of the overload
Love me or leave me, but don’t dim the lights
I shine in the chaos, I thrive in the fight
Dramatic, dramatic—watch me own the night
Yeah, I’m dramatic… and it feels so right
Bridge (Beat strips down to piano + handclaps, then builds)
If I’m too loud, turn the volume down on your fear
If I’m too real, maybe look in the mirror
I feel oceans, you feel puddles—difference clear
But this heart beats thunder, so everybody hear…
(Ad-libs: Ohhh-oh-oh, yes I am… I am… I AM!)
Final Chorus (Key change up, full choir, horns blazing)
I’m dramatic, dramatic—bow down to the show (bow down!)
Every heartbeat a drumline, everywhere that I go (everywhere!)
Tears fall like confetti, pain turns to gold (pure gold!)
I’m dramatic, dramatic—queen of the overload
Love me or leave me, but don’t dim the lights (never!)
I shine in the chaos, I thrive in the fight (I thrive!)
Dramatic, dramatic—watch me own the night
Yeah, I’m dramatic… and it feels so right
(Dramatic… dramatic… feels so right)
Outro (Layered harmonies, fading orchestra)
Call me dramatic…
I’ll take it as a compliment.
Yeah…
Queen.
