[Verse 1] I learned to wear the colors Everybody liked to see Trimmed away the little pieces That looked too much like me Every room became a mirror Every smile a measured line I forgot which voice was mine Trying to borrow someone else's shine [Chorus] I don't need no milk I don't need no sugar Keep it ninety-nine This is by design I don't mind the bitter I don't mind intense Some things lose their taste Trying to make sense [Verse 2] Every note came forward When I chose myself Bittersweet is sweeter Than being someone else Ninety-nine to know myself One to let love through Nothing left to prove Now there's room for you [Bridge] Not every note is floral Not every note is bright Every flavor finds somebody Who'll call it just right [Final Chorus] I don't need no milk I don't need no sugar Keep it ninety-nine This is by design I don't mind the bitter I don't mind intense Some things lose their taste Trying to make sense Keep it ninety-nine This is by design
