[Chorus 1]
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

[Verse 1]
Now I got your back up what do you not like?
Do you think I'm stuck up 'cause I'm always picking fights?
You might think I'm one thing, but I am another
You can't call my bluff, time to back off, motherfucker

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem?
I'm happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus 1]
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
No, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

[Verse 2]
You ain't got me sussed yet, you're not even close
Baby, it's the one thing that I hate the most
All these contradictions pouring out of me
Just another girl in the 21st century

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am never gonna give you anything you expect
You think I'm like the others, boy, you need to get your eyes
Checked, checked

[Chorus 1]
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
No, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

[Bridge]
I could be your sister, I could be your mother
I could be your neighbour, I could be your lover
Do you like my body, do you like my mind?
What is it that you are having trouble to define?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am never gonna give you anything you expect
You think I'm like the others, boy, you need to get your eyes
Checked, checked

[Chorus 2]
You can paint me any colour
I can be your Russian doll
But you ain't got my number
No, you can't make me small
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
No, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

[Outro]
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

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.
