[Verse 1]
Why do you care what people think?
Are you hooked up to their leash?
You know anklebiters
Ate up your personality

Try to remember how it felt
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters
Chew up, spit out someone else

Fall in love with yourself

[Chorus]
Because someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got

[Verse 2]
What do you actually expect
A broken mirror to reflect?
You know, anklebiters gave you a false perception
And why do I defend your ignorance?
Oh, why do I defend the state you're in?

You should fall in love with yourself
Oh, again
Fall in love with yourself

[Chorus]
Because someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got

[Outro]
Anklebiters! Anklebiters!
Someday you’re gonna be alone
Anklebiters! Anklebiters!

Paramore

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
