[Verse 1] Starting trouble is my plan Writing mischief in the margins All their rules in neat red pen I draw mustaches on their warnings Making chaos cuz I can Kick my sneakers on their staircase They say "Young lady Understand?" I just smirk and tie my lace [Chorus] Prim and proper’s not enough I was built a little rough They say "Straighten up!" and I say "Tough!" (hey!) Line me up I’ll color out Too loud Too wild Too much They say "Straighten up!" and I say "Tough!" [Verse 2] Golden star charts on the wall Mine’s just doodles Hearts and thunder Every slip They note it all Turn my questions into blunders But their boxes feel too small I’m the scribble in the corner Hear my laugh down every hall Like a tiny Bright disorder [Chorus] Prim and proper’s not enough I was built a little rough They say "Straighten up!" and I say "Tough!" (oh yeah) Line me up I’ll color out Too loud Too wild Too much They say "Straighten up!" and I say "Tough!" [Bridge] Pin that badge on someone else I’m not here to dim or shrink myself If I’m wrong I’ll still show up Head held high I won’t grow up (won’t grow up) [Chorus] Prim and proper’s not enough I was built a little rough They say "Straighten up!" and I say "Tough!" (hey!) Line me up I’ll color out Too loud Too wild Too much They say "Straighten up!" and I say "Tough!" They say "Straighten up!" and I say "Tough!"
