[Intro]

I'm so tired of pretending

Where's my happy ending?

[Verse 1]

I followed all the rules

I drew inside the lines

I never asked for anything that wasn't mine

I waited patiently for my time

But when it finally came

He called her name

And now I feel this overwhelming pain

I mean it's in my veins

I mean it's in my brain

My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train

I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame

I know exactly who to blame

[Chorus]

I never thought of myself as mean

I always thought that I'd be the queen

And there's no in between

'Cause if I can't have that

Then I would be the leader of the dark and the bad

Now there's a devil on my shoulder

Where the angels used to be

And it's calling me the queen

[Verse 2]

Being nice was my pastime

But I've been hurt for the last time

And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me

The anger burns my skin, third-degree

Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea

There's nobody getting close to me

They're gonna bow to the Evil Queen

Your nightmare's my dream

Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes

[Chorus]

I never thought of myself as mean

I always thought that I'd be the queen

And there's no in between

'Cause if I can't have that

Then I would be the leader of the dark and the bad

Now there's a devil on my shoulder

Where the angels used to be

And he's calling me the queen of mean (Calling me, calling me)

The queen of mean (Calling me, calling me)

(Calling me, calling me)

The queen of mean

[Verse 3]

Something's pulling me

It's so magnetic

My body is moving

Unsure where I'm headed

All of my senses have left me defenseless

This darkness around me is promising vengeance

The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive

There's nothing to lose when you're lonely and friendless

So my only interest is showing this princess

That I am the queen and my reign will be endless! (Endless)

[Bridge]

I want what I deserve

I want to rule the world

Sit back and watch them learn

It's finally my turn

[Chorus]

If they want a villain for a queen

I'm gonna be one like they've never seen

I'll show them what it means

Now that I am that

I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad

'Cause the devil's on my shoulder

Where the angels used to be

And he's calling me the queen of mean (Calling me, calling me)

(Calling me, calling me)

The queen of mean (Calling me, calling me)

[Outro]

I want what I deserve!
