A girl can only take so much before she explodes Temper past boiling point and eyes raging bright I may not look like it at first But there’s anger beneath the exterior Your taunting can only go so far It’s too much to handle at once Poking and prodding to see how far you can go I’m not afraid of your teasing But the consequences when I blow over Watch out for the fire Apologies I know you don’t mean Only adding fuel to the blaze There’s no way to douse the flames Only to let it simmer and burn itself out You try to get it to settle It comes back with twice the fervor Don’t mess with the fire I’m a force to be reckoned with And this is one fight you can’t win

You Can't Win
A girl can only take so much before she explodes Temper past boiling point and eyes raging bright I may not look like it at first But there’s anger beneath the exterior Your taunting can only go so far It’s too much to handle at once Poking and prodding to see how far you can go I’m not afraid of your teasing But the consequences when I blow over Watch out for the fire Apologies I know you don’t mean Only adding fuel to the blaze There’s no way to douse the flames Only to let it simmer and burn itself out You try to get it to settle It comes back with twice the fervor Don’t mess with the fire I’m a force to be reckoned with And this is one fight you can’t win
