Oh — Was that my name you were saying? I hear the whispers when I walk in Funny how they get so loud Everyone’s got something to say But they say it softer in a crowd You study every little move Like you’re writing my review But if you hate me like you claim Why’s your attention glued? You keep watching Keep talking Keep putting me on trial But every word you throw at me Just adds another mile I beg your pardon Did I do something wrong again? Or are you just uncomfortable Watching me win? I beg your pardon If I’m not the girl you planned But I’m not here for permission I’m here to take command Say what you want about me I promise I’ve heard it before But if you came to watch me fall You should’ve shown up earlier I beg your pardon You love to act like I’m a problem Like I woke up just to offend But the truth is you just hate it When the story doesn’t bend I say what I want when I want it I go where I choose to go And if that bothers you that much You’re free to let me know But the louder you complain The bigger my name appears You call it attitude I call it a career I beg your pardon Did I make your evening tense? Or are you just surprised I don’t ask for your consent? I beg your pardon If I do things differently But confidence looks dangerous When you’re not used to seeing it Say what you want about me You always do anyway But if you think I’m losing sleep You really overestimate I beg your pardon Go ahead and write your headlines Say I’m difficult or proud But every time you say my name You only make it louder You can call it arrogance You can call it what you please But if you’re talking about me You’re already on your knees So I beg your pardon If I don’t apologize tonight If I walk into the room Like I know exactly why I beg your pardon If I’m everything you fear But darling I was never made To make you comfortable here Say what you want about me But say it nice and clear Because if my name’s in your mouth Then I’m already here.
