  • Sun, stare, don't care with my head in my hands
    Thinking of a simpler time
    Like Sun Ra, feel small but I
    Had it under control every time

    When I was a waitress
    Wearing a white dress
    Look how I do this
    Look how I got this
    I was a waitress
    Working the night shift
    You were my man
    Felt like I got this

    Down at the men in music business conference
    Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen
    Down at the men in music business conference
    I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene
    And I felt seen
    Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

    Summer, sizzling, listening to
    Jazz out on the lawn
    Listened to white stripes
    When they were white-hot
    Listening to rock all day long

    When I was a waitress
    Wearing a tight dress
    Handling the heat
    I wasn't famous
    Just listening to Kings of Leon to the beat
    Like look how I got this
    Look how I got this
    Just sing in the street
    Down at the men in music business conference
    I felt free 'cause I was only nineteen
    Hey hey
    Such a scene

    Summer's, summer's almost gone
    We were talkin' 'bout life
    We were sitting outside 'til dawn
    But I would still go back
    If I could do it all again I'd fly
    Because it made me feel
    Made me feel like a god
    'Cause it made me feel
    Made me feel like a god
    Somehow it made me feel
    Made me feel like a god

    When I was a waitress
    Wearing a white dress
    Look how I do this
    Look how I got this
    When I was a waitress
    Working the night shift
    You were my man
    Felt like I got this

    Down at the men in music business conference
    Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen
    Down at the men in music business conference
    I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene
    And I felt seen
    Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

    When I was a waitress
    Wearing a tight dress
    Like look how I do it
    Look how I got this
    I was a waitress
    Wearing a tight dress
    Like look how I do this
    Look how I got this

    Made me feel
    Made me feel like a god
    It kinda makes me feel
    Like maybe I was better off
    Because it made me feel
    Made me feel like a god
    Kinda makes me feel
    Like maybe I was better off Writer/s: Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, Jack Antonoff
