  • I won't take a hit in the moshpit
    I don't ever sit front row's for losers
    I won't ever pay to watch your band play
    I need hair spray groupies for doers

    I don't wanna be a part of your song
    I'm no hanger on the melody's all wrong
    I don't wanna be a Fender guitar
    Played by a rock star don't string me along
    I don't need a wrist band to tell me who I am
    No need to clap your hands
    I don't need a microphone to tell you
    I'm better off being on my own
    And you hit the last note
    And that is all she wrote

    I don't stick around
    I won't wait around for the ending
    Another the curtain closes
    We already know there's an end
    To the show we're making
    I'm throwing down the roses

    I don't stick around
    I won't wait around for the ending
    Another the curtain closes
    We already know there's an end
    To the show we're making
    I'm throwing down the roses

    I can't ever be your girl VIP
    Baby that ain't me i'm a crowd surfer
    I don't ever do rocker boys like you
    I'm an artist too i'm a show stopper

    I don't wanna be a part of your song
    I'm no hanger on the melody's all wrong
    I don't wanna be a Fender guitar
    Played by a rock star don't string me along
    I don't need a wrist band to tell me who I am
    No need to clap your hands
    I don't need a microphone to tell you
    I'm better off being on my own
    And you hit the last note
    And that is all she wrote

    I don't stick around
    I won't wait around for the ending
    Another the curtain closes
    We already know there's an end
    To the show we're making
    I'm throwing down the roses

    I don't stick around
    I won't wait around for the ending
    Another the curtain closes
    We already know there's an end
    To the show we're making
    I'm throwing down the roses

    I'm throwing down the roses
    I'm throwing down the roses
    I'm throwing down the roses
    I'm throwing down the roses
    I'm throwing down the roses
    I'm throwing down the roses Writer/s: Catherine Elizabeth Pierson, Dallas L Austin, Sia Furler
