Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? (First Draft Phone Memo)

Okay, I'm gonna try to play this in one go

Um, this is called "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"

[Verse 1]

The who's who of "Who's that?" is poised for the attack

But my bare hands paved their paths

You don't get to tell me about "sad"

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

If you wanted me dead, you should've just said

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Nothing makes me feel more alive

[Chorus]

So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street

Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

"Who's afraid of little old me?"

You should be

[Verse 2]

The scandal was contained

The bullet had just grazed

At all costs, keep your good name

You don't get to tell me that I'm bad

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Is it a wonder I brokе? Let's hear one morе joke

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Then we could all just laugh until I cry

[Chorus]

So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street

Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

"Who's afraid of little old me?"

I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean

"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"

Who's afraid of little old me?

You should be

[Post-Chorus]

You should be, you should be

You should be, you should be, you should be

[Bridge]

So tell me everything is not about me

But what if it is?

And say they didn't do it to hurt me

But what if they did?

I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs

I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?

That I'll sue you if you step on my lawn

That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong

Put narcotics into all of my songs

And that's why you're still singin' along

[Chorus]

So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street

Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

"Who's afraid of little old me?"

I was tame, I was gentle 'til your circus life made me mean

"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"

Who's afraid of little old me?

Well, you should be

[Post-Chorus]

You should be, you should be

'Cause you lured me

And you hurt me

And you taught me

[Outro]

You caged me and you called me crazy

I am what I am, well, 'cause you trained me

So who's afraid of me?

Who's afraid of little old me?

Who's afraid of little old me?

For the most part that was almost, sort of, almost what it should be. I'm gonna work on the melodies and the bridge so they don't become repetitive like that. But that's just the like framework and I might take some things out, but. Yeah, just a song about being crazy
