lyrics

I don't own a car
And I dance in the rain
I dye my hair blue
Underneath my beret
I have no qualms
About breaking the rules
And I knew every song
Long before it was cool

'Cause I'm a cute girl with glasses who plays ukulele
I only know four chords, but I drive men crazy
My vintage record collection's a source of distraction
'Cause I'm a cute girl with glasses who plays ukulele
I'm polarizing, you love me or hate me
But sometimes it's harder to be an object of attraction

Please know that I'm more
Than a stereotype
There's no way I can fill
This hole in your life
According to you
I was sent from above
But if that were true
I would show you more love

I'm just a cute girl with glasses who plays ukulele
Expected to serve as a cheap form of therapy
You're building me up
And I'm always letting you down
Cute girls with glasses will play ukulele
For the sole reason that it makes us happy
And not 'cause we're secretly hoping to see you around

Just because I'm interested in astrology
Doesn't mean I deserve all your idolatry
If you were asked to seek a diagnosis
They'd say I'm the cause of your sudden neurosis

'Cause I'm a cute girl with glasses who plays ukulele
Prepared to ignore you when you call out "save me!"
I'm no superhero
I'm just like everyone else
I am a cute girl with glasses who plays ukulele
I might be "quirky" but I'm not your baby
So why don't you get out of here
And work on yourself
