[Chorus]

I'm gonna be my own drunk-text romance

Lying on my bed, phone wire wraps my hand

I'm gonna keep me up all night

'Cause I won't shut up about the boy I like

I'm gonna fall in love with my dumb hair

Bad skin, weird bump on my nose

I'm gonna become my own reason to wake up before 11


[Pre-Chorus]

You're gonna call it cringe

But you'll never get Juliet to the balcony

Without some character development

You should smile for once

Before you wake up

Before you wake up, oh


[Chorus]

( Oh-oh-oh ) I'm gonna be my own drunk-text romance

( Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh ) Lying on my bеd, phone wire wraps my hand

( Oh-oh-oh ) I'm gonna keep me up all night (All night)

'Causе I won't shut up about the boy I like (I like)

I'm gonna fall in love with my dumb hair

Bad skin, weird bump on my nose

I'm gonna become my own reason to wake up before 11


[Verse]

You're gonna take me home to meet your dad ( Woo! )

And he's gonna say ( Yeah, he's gonna say! )

( Ayy! ) "His winged eyeliner could be better

But he tried for us, so"

( "He's a keeper, son!" )

I'm gonna be real nervous

When I go to ask the waiter if they're open

You're gonna hold my hand, say

"You made the grass turn green on my special day"

Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da da

Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da

Ba ba ba da da da da da

Ba-da ba-da

Ba-da ba-da


[Bridge]

And I promise to be ( Banana carrot, banana carrot )

The bee in your bonnet ( Banana carrot )

The Tails to your Sonic ( Banana carrot )

The picture in your locket ( Banana carrot )

The fuel in your rocket ( Na, na, car-rot )

The tissue in your pocket ( Banana carrot )

The Twist It to your Bop It ( Ohhh )

The plug in your socket ( Banana carrot )

The milk to your chocolate ( Ooh, banana carrot )

The spanner to your sprocket ( Ooh, banana carrot, ahh )

Alright, that's all I've got!


[Chorus]

I'm gonna be my own drunk-text romance

Lying on my bed, phone wire wraps my hand

I'm gonna keep me up all night

'Cause I won't shut up about the boy I like

This is a reference to Act 2, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet. In this scene Juliet stands on her balcony and laments the fact that she and Romeo cannot be together due to their families' conflict, whilst Romeo stands below, unbeknownst to her.
