Lyrics

Why do you care what people think? Are you hooked up to their leash?
You know anklebiters ate up your personality.

Try to remember how it felt to just make up your own steps.
And let anklebiters chew up, spit out someone else.

And fall in love with yourself.

Because someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got.
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got.

Why you wanna play someone and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got.

What do you actually expect? A broken mirror to reflect?
You know anklebiters gave you a false perception.

And why do I defend your ignorance?
Oh, why do I defend the state you’re in?

You should fall in love with yourself, oh, again.
Fall in love with yourself.

Because someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got.
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got.

Why you wanna play someone and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got.

Anklebiters! Anklebiters!
Someday you’re gonna be alone!
Anklebiters! Anklebiters!
