Melanie Martinez - "Alphabet Boy"
Standard Tuning - Capo 5
[Verse I]
You're Amalways aiming paper airplanes at Cme when you're around
You Embuild me up like building blocks just so Amyou can bring me down
AmYou can crush my candy cane but you'll Cnever catch me cry
If you Emdangle that diploma and I deck Cyou, don't be surprised
[Pre-Chorus]
I know my AmABC's, yet you keep Cteaching me
I say, fuck Emyour degree, alphaAmbet boy
You think you're Amsmarter than me with all your Cbad poetry
Fuck all your EmABC's, alphaAmbet boy
[Chorus]
I'm not a little Emkid now
Watch me get Cbig now
Spell my name on the fEmridge now
With all your alphaCbet toys
You won the spelling Embee now
But are you smarter than Cme now?
You're the prince of the Emplayground
Little alphaAmbet boy
[Verse 2]
AmApples aren't always appropriCate apologies
EmButterscotch and bubblegum drops are Ambittersweet to me
AmYou call me a child while you keep Ccounting all your coins
But yEmou're not my daddy and I'm not your dolly
And yAmour dictionary's destroyed
[Pre-Chorus]
I know my AmABC's, yet you keep Cteaching me
I say, fuck Emyour degree, alphaAmbet boy
You think you're Amsmarter than me with all your Cbad poetry
Fuck all your EmABC's, alphaAmbet boy
[Chorus]
I'm not a little Emkid now
Watch me get Cbig now
Spell my name on the fEmridge now
With all your alphaCbet toys
You won the spelling Embee now
But are you smarter than Cme now?
You're the prince of the Emplayground
Little alphaAmbet boy
