[Verse 1]
Baby
You've been so distant from me lately
And lately
Don't even wanna call you baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Saw us getting older
Burning toast in the toaster
My ambitions were too high
Waiting up for you upstairs
Why you act like I'm not there?
Baby, right now it feels like

[Chorus]
It feels like you don't care
Why don't you recognize I'm so rare?
Always there
You don't do the same for me
That's not fair

[Post-Chorus]
I don't have it all
I'm not claiming to
But I know that I'm special, yeah
And I bet there's somebody else out there
To tell me I'm rare
To make me feel rare

[Verse 2]
Baby
Don't make me count up all the reasons to stay with you
No reason
Why you and I are not succeeding?
Uh uh, mm, uh uh

[Pre-Chorus]
Saw us getting older
Burning toast in the toaster
My ambitions were too high
Waiting up for you upstairs
Why you act like I'm not there?
Baby, right now it feels like

[Chorus]
It feels like you don't care
Why don't you recognize I'm so rare?
Always there
You don't do the same for me
That's not fair

[Post-Chorus]
I don't have it all
I'm not claiming to
But I know that I'm special, yeah
And I bet there's somebody else out there
To tell me I'm rare
To make me feel rare

[Bridge]
I'm not gonna beg for you
Not gonna let you make me cry
Not getting enough from you
Didn't you know I'm hard to find?

[Pre-Chorus]
Saw us getting older
Burning toast in the toaster
My ambitions were too high
Waiting up for you upstairs
Why you act like I'm not there?
Baby, right now it feels like

[Chorus]
It feels like you don't care
Why don't you recognize I'm so rare?
Always there
You don't do the same for me
That's not fair

[Post-Chorus]
I don't have it all
I'm not claiming to
But I know that I'm special, yeah
And I bet there's somebody else out there
To tell me I'm rare
To make me feel rare

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
