Barbie's Having a Breakdown

Intro: Spoken

Hi babe

Quick question

If I stop smiling

do I still work

Cute

Verse 1

Wake up pretty powder the panic

Pink little room looking picture-perfect manic

Curl every strand straighten the seams

Smile like the girl that they ordered from me

Phone keeps buzzing leave it face-down

Lip gloss shining while I'm coming unwound

Everybody asks if I'm doing okay

Then looks disappointed

when I don't say

Pre-Chorus

I'm fine

Chin up

Back straight

Don't make a scene

Keep your little problems

pretty and clean

Wave nice

Talk sweet

Stay in your place

God forbid the doll

makes an ugly face

Chorus

Barbie's having a breakdown

Pink lights flicker through the whole damn Dreamhouse

Mascara running pretty coming undone

Guess perfection isn't quite as much fun

Everybody panic when the doll talks back

Warranty void when she finally cracks

You wanted flawless

How's she looking now

Barbie's having a breakdown

Post-Chorus

B-A-D day

But I look good anyway

B-A-D day

Keep your hands off my display

Sorry

Did I malfunction

Verse 2

Closet full of dresses I don't wanna wear

Crying on the bathroom floor in perfect hair

One fake nail sitting next to the sink

Everybody's worried what the neighbors might think

You've got everything

Yeah

That's what they say

Like pretty little things

aren't allowed bad days

Put a bow on the panic photograph that

Slap a pink little sticker where the warning was at

Pre-Chorus

Chin up

Back straight

Don't make a scene

Keep your little problems

pretty and clean

Speak soft

Smile wide

Stay on display

Everybody loves you

when you behave

Chorus

Barbie's having a breakdown

Pink lights flicker through the whole damn Dreamhouse

Mascara running pretty coming undone

Guess perfection isn't quite as much fun

Everybody panic when the doll talks back

Warranty void when she finally cracks

You wanted flawless

How's she looking now

Barbie's having a breakdown

Bridge

Maybe I need sleep

Maybe I need space

Maybe I don't owe you

a pleasant little face

Maybe I'm not broken

Maybe this is what

happens when a person

gets treated like a product

You keep asking

what happened to me

(whisper) You did

Breakdown Build: Spoken

Fix your hair

Fix your mouth

Fix your attitude

Calm down

Be grateful

Be pretty

Be quiet

Be

No

Breakdown

I'M NOT

YOUR

FUCKING

DISPLAY

NO PRICE TAG

NO RETURN

NO PERFECT LITTLE

LESSON LEARNED

PULL MY STRING

WATCH ME SNAP

PRETTY GIRLS

GET ANGRY BACK

SMILE

MAKE ME

Final Chorus

Barbie's having a breakdown

Kick the front door off the whole damn Dreamhouse

Mascara running glitter on the ground

Funny how they listen when you finally get loud

Everybody panic when the doll talks back

Rip the little warning label off her back

You wanted flawless

Flawless walked out

Barbie's having a breakdown

Final Post-Chorus

B-A-D day

And I look good anyway

B-A-D day

Get your hands off my display

B-A-D day

Pretty little emergency

B-A-D

[[Outro] Spoken]

Hi babe

Good news

I'm feeling much better

You should probably leave
