Change Shapes

[Verse 1]

It's exhausting trying so hard all the time

Performative hypocrisy took over my mind

I'm a doll inside a box

With a ball and a chain

I bend over backwards, tiptoe along every wire

Guess I'm quite the actress, no one knows I'm a liar

I'm preaching to the choir

I'm a body for hire

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ah)

And I think you should know

[Chorus]

I change shapes 'til I get what I want from you

It's your game, now you're mad that I learned the rules

I change shapes, I change shapes for you (Ooh, ah)

I change shapes 'til I get what I need from you

We're all snakes, but what else is a girl supposеd to do?

I change shapes, but you nevеr do (Ooh)

[Verse 2]

It makes me nauseous waiting for slips of the tongue

God, I know you love it when you're eating your young

It's a really bad habit

Playing dead and dumb

It's a precaution, playing a smile on a loop

Specific choreography for jumping through hoops

I'm a masochist, a martyr

Who won't stop turning the screw

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ah)

And I think you should know

[Chorus]

I change shapes 'til I get what I want from you

It's your game, now you're mad that I learned the rules

I change shapes, I change shapes for you (Ooh, ah)

I change shapes 'til I get what I need from you

We're all snakes, but what else is a girl supposed to do?

I change shapes, but you never do (Ooh)

[Bridge]

I've been foolish, let you fool me twice

Wonder what would happen if you learned to play nice

So now I'm running, gonna roll that dice

Wonder what would happen if you changed

Yeah, right

[Chorus]

I change shapes 'til I get what I want from you

It's your game, now you're mad that I learned the rules

I change shapes, I change shapes for you (Ooh, ah)

I change shapes 'til I get what I need from you

We're all snakes, but what else is a girl supposed to do?

I change shapes, but you never do
