[Intro]
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da

[Verse 1]
My best friend said to me, "I know just what we need
A song of yours that we could feel ourselves to"
I said it'd be a test 'cause you know I'm always stressed
Come to think of it, I guess I've never cared to

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "You won't know if you never commit"
So here's me convincing myself I'm the shh

[Chorus]
I'm a million trick pony
The number one and only
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at 11
Okay, okay
Turn pain into a paycheck
Should see me in a sundress
I do it all with ease, I should give lessons
Okay, okay, okay

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da

[Verse 2]
Maybe if I write it down, I'll make it real somehow
'Cause everyone's allowed to feel amazing

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'll never know if I never commit
So here's me convincing myself I'm the shh

[Chorus]
I'm a million trick pony
The number one and only
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at 11
Okay, okay
Turn pain into a paycheck
Should see me in a sundress
I do it all with ease, I should give lessons
Okay, okay, okay

[Bridge]
Fake it until I make it ring true
One day, I'ma be better at feelin' cool, hey
Fake it until I make it ring true
One day, I'ma be better at feelin' like a

[Chorus]
Million trick pony
The number one and only
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at 11
Turn pain into a paycheck
Should see me in a sundress
I do it all with ease, I should give lessons
Okay, okay, okay
