[Verse 1]
You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby, oh
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated
Than loved, loved, loved for what you're not

[Pre-Chorus]
You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just trouble

[Chorus]
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

[Verse 2]
You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just trouble

[Chorus]
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

[Bridge]
Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power off?
And let the drum beat drop

[Chorus]
Guess what? I am not a robot
Guess what? I am not a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
