Lyrics
When it's a DEMAND that's when I feel totally frustrated
A DEMAND comes and my self-worth
gets completely deflated
When I got home from school I could do no right
('cuz I'm a lefty)
Every step I took set off another fight:
Take out the garbage, pick up your room,
put your stuff away (and do your homework)
I groaned and grumbled, "Didn't I just do this yesterday?"
You don't want to live in a house that is a mess
(well, I don't either.)
But when you bully me, all I feel is stress
When it's a DEMAND that's when I feel fully irritated
A DEMAND comes and my self-worth
gets utterly devastated
If you asked me nicely and made it a request
Then my behavior would soon be its best
But when it's a DEMAND that's when I feel so agitated
A DEMAND comes and my self-worth gets annihilated
Later on that night when you made me a meal
('cuz it was dinner)
I acted like it was expected, no big deal
I asked for red salt, water, ketchup, jam bun, milk
And cheese (with macaroni)
But I forgot to say that famous pretty please
You were a scary sight, anyone would attest
(I took a picture)
Hands on your hips
and your lips were pursed and pressed
When it's a DEMAND that's when you feel exasperated
A DEMAND comes and your self-worth gets depreciated
A DEMAND and everyone feels righteously "irate"-ed
A DEMAND reduces self-worth by ten; it gets decimated
A DEMAND
and whose behavior do you think is emulated?
A DEMAND and everything gets ill-communicated
Frustrated Deflated Irritated Devastated
Agitated Annihilated Exasperated Depreciated
If you asked me nicely and made it a request
Then my behavior would soon be its best....please?
When it's a request that's when we feel so validated
A request comes and our sanity gets reinstated
If you ask me nicely...
