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"
If you wanted me dead,
you should've just said
Nothing makes me feel
more alive
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
The scandal was contained
The bullet had just grazed
At all costs,
keep your good name
You don't get to
tell me you feel bad
Is it a wonder I broke?
Let's hear one more joke
Then we could all
just laugh until I cry
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?
Well, you should be
(You should be) You should be
(You should be) You should be
You should be (You should be)
You should be (You should be)
You should be
So tell me everything
is not about me
But what if it is?
Then 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
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?
Well, you should be
(You should be) You should be
(You should be) You should be
'Cause you lured me
And you hurt me
And you taught me
You caged me and
then you called me crazy
I am what I am
'cause you trained me
So who's afraid of me?
Who's afraid of little old me?
Who's afraid of little old me?
