Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
Started like a honey moon
But now I see
You never ever had my best interests
In mind

Sticks and stones never broke my bones
But the things you say always got in the way
Of my own very existence
(Okay)

You were so so convincing with your hair
(Oh, oh, oh-oh!)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh!)
Highlighted hair
Now it's your turn to despair

Going fifteen rounds this time
Gonna make it work tonight
Never backing down this time
I'll sting you
(In my yellow, yellow jacket)

You're getting clowned this time
In for the fight of your life
No bark, all bite
I'll sting you
In my yellow, yellow, yellow jacket
Whatever don't kill you
Makes you strong
I don't know about you
But I think that's wrong
I plan on keeping you living in shame

And once I've roughed you up
Go back to your boys and say you're tough
I guess the tea will be spilling today

You may be a champ inside your head
(Oh, oh, oh-oh!)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh!)
Your stupid head
But if you were smart
You'd play dead

Going fifteen rounds this time
Gonna make it work tonight
Never backing down this time
I'll sting you
(In my yellow, yellow jacket)

You're getting clowned this time
In for the fight of your life
No bark, all bite
I'll sting you
Did you ever
Even notice what I lost
(Did you even notice, notice?)
(Did you even notice, notice?)

Did you only
Ever notice you got caught
(Did you even notice, notice?)
And I never loved you

Fifteen rounds this time
Gonna make it work tonight
Never backing down this time
I'll sting you
(In my yellow, yellow jacket)

You're getting clowned this time
In for the fight of your life
No bark, all bite
I'll sting you
I'll sting you (Ooh!)
In my yellow, yellow, yellow jacket
