[Intro]
Am  C  F  E
[Verse 1]
AmDrown me in my daily cup of tea
CTell the porcupines to quit stabbing me
They Fmake me fall, but I will stand
'Cause Eall of them are jerks with their cups in their hands
AmNow they want a whisper, a whisper from me
'Cause Call of them have watched me on their big screen TV's
But Fwhat about little old, little old me?
The Eone who got bullied because of her teeth
[Chorus]
I Amhope you all are watching my Cmiddle finger rise
To the Fbullies in the schoolyard, I Eknow I'm on your mind
AmNow you say you love me, but Cwhat about before?
When FI was just that silly little Egirl next door
Oh Amoh,  OoohCooohF  E  
[Verse 2]
AmLadies, oh ladies, why are you so mad?
Is it 'Ccause I'm classy, and you're a trash bag?
Your Fteasing and laughing resonates through my heart
And Enow you're calling me 'cause you want a fresh start
Now Amlook at you boys, you can't believe your eyes
You Ctold me I was ugly and I took you by surprise
You Fshould've been nicer, 'cause look where I'm at
              EN.C.
While you copy Mac Miller wearing snap-back hats

I Amhope you all are watching my Cmiddle finger rise
To the Fbullies in the schoolyard, I Eknow I'm on your mind
AmNow you say you love me, but Cwhat about before?
When FI was just that silly little Egirl next door
Oh Amoh,  OoohCooohF  E

[Intro]

Am C F E

[Verse 1]

Drown me in my daily cup of tea

Tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me

They make me fall, but I will stand

'Cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands

Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me

'Cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TV's

But what about little old, little old me?

The one who got bullied because of her teeth

[Chorus]

Am C

I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise

F E

To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I'm on your mind

Am C

Now you say you love me, but what about before?

F E

When I was just that silly little girl next door

Am C F E

Oh oh, Ooohoooh

[Verse 2]

Ladies, oh ladies, why are you so mad?

Is it 'cause I'm classy, and you're a trash bag?

Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart

And now you're calling me 'cause you want a fresh start

Now look at you boys, you can't believe your eyes

You told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise

You should've been nicer, 'cause look where I'm at
