Lyrics

She wanted attention, she wanted fame
She wanted to not be just a Mrs to my name
She wanted power more than before
Not just be a plus one on the guest list anymore

She wanted action, she wanted lights
She wanted to participate in and start fights
And be recognized by the bouncers at the door
Not feel like a plus one on the guest list anymore

Express her own personality
And do it without me
And explore anything she might have to explore

She wanted color, she wanted sound
She wanted to leave her old polite self on the ground
And leave her well behaved self on the floor
Not feel like plus one on the guest list anymore

Express her own personality
And do it without me
And explore anything she might have to explore

Well she wanted color, she wanted sound
She wanted to leave her old polite self on the ground
And leave her well behaved self on the floor
Not feel like a plus one on the guest list anymore,
Anymore,
Anymore

Color, Sound
Polite self on the ground
Well-behaved self on the floor
Not be a plus one on the guest list anymore,
Anymore

Lyrics

She wanted attention, she wanted fame
She wanted to not be just a Mrs to my name
She wanted power more than before
Not feel like a plus one on the guest list anymore

She wanted action, she wanted lights
She wanted to participate in and to start fights
And be recognized by the bouncers at the door
Not just a plus one on the guest list anymore

Express her own personality
And do this without me
And explore anything she might have to explore

She wanted color, she wanted sound
She wanted to leave her old polite self on the ground
And leave her well behaved self on the floor
Not feel like plus one on the guest list anymore

[Guitar]

Express her own personality
And do it without me
And explore anything she might have to explore

Color, sound
Polite self on the ground
And well behaved self on the floor
Not be like plus one on the guest list anymore

Color, Sound
Polite self somehow on the ground
And well-behaved self on the floor
Not just be plus one on the guest list anymore,
Anymore
