[Intro] It's a burden. It’s a burden, I’m hurting... [Verse 1] Walk in, talk slick, make the whole room shift I don’t do much, I just naturally eclipse I don’t even try, that part’s the funny bit Born with the face, the nerve and the stomach for it Born like this, that’s a wild little curse Can’t dim it down, can’t fake being worse You call it “extra,” I call it my base God did a silly when he drew this face Too fit, too clean, too quick with the tease Got a mean-girl grin, a heart off the leash They trip, they slip, start running they mouth I’m like, “Damn, that’s crazy”- then I walk right out [Pre-Chorus] I know, it’s rough, it’s a lot to process You saw one wink, now your whole week’s nonsense That’s not my fault, babe, blame the raw setup I came built wrong, with the presence cranked up [Chorus] It’s a burden, babe, being me all day Too pretty, too petty, got hell to raise They see one smirk, then they lose their brain And somehow that’s my fault? Be serious, babe It’s a burden, babe, it’s rough out here I toss one look, then the whole crowd stares I can’t help winning, I was made this way Sad little blessing, what a drag, okay [Verse 2] Got a brat pack mouth with a glass-cut stare Say one slick thing, now there’s static in the air I don’t chase, I pace, let ‘em trip on approach Like “she’s sweet”- mm, maybe, keep dreaming, though Gold in my ears, little chaos in step Looking like a bad idea people won’t forget Got a soft lip pout with a hard don’t-care Like, “You good?”- not really my area there I’m not cruel, babe, I’m just built too nice Real unfair combo: sugar and vice They want one chance, then another, then more I get bored, stretch once, slide right for the door [Pre-Chorus] I know, so dramatic, but somebody should warn ya One look, then boom, now you’re down bad for me I didn’t ask for this mix of charm and disorder Take it up with whoever signed off the order [Chorus] It’s a burden, babe, being me all day Too pretty, too petty, got hell to raise They see one smirk, then they lose their brain And somehow that’s my fault? Be serious, babe It’s a burden, babe, it’s rough out here I toss one look, then the whole room veers I can’t help winning, I was made this way Sad little blessing, what a drag, okay [Bridge] Hold up. Moment of silence for the people I stun Tiny sad violin for the hearts I spun Okay, that’s enough, I’m bored of the grieving You caught feelings alone, I was just out breathing I should come with a label, babe “Cute but shady. Don’t get bold, behave.” Me? Moisturized, unbothered, absurd Making “too fine to function” sound oddly earned [Verse 3] Main character mess with a first-class face Cold little cutie with expensive taste Not my job to be less of a threat I was born this good, why would I regret? If I seem unreal, blame the grand design I didn’t make the rules, I’m just built this fine Can’t stay humble, that would be insane When the mirror says, “Yeah, do it again” You want humble? Cute. I want honest and funny I’m a natural disaster in a cropped top, honey If that sounds unfair, take a number, get in line Been burdened with being this fine all damn time [Chorus] It’s a burden, babe, but I bear it well Too fine, too fly, simply bad as hell They crash, they burn, I just file my nails What can I say? It's a dangerous spell It’s a burden, babe, such a tough little life Being this hot, this wrong, this right You want me less? Better argue with fate I can’t help being better, that’s just my face [Outro] It’s a burden, for certain, being this person Born this bad, this cute, this rude in the wording I hate that I’m great, it's just so hard for me Carrying this face, this waist and this bod' So dastardly It’s a burden, I’m hurting... It’s a burden, I’m hurting...
