[Verse 1]
I hit my head real hard, I woke up in a jar
On top of his blue metal shelf full of trinkets
He’d dust me off each day, I’m made of porcelain clay
I feed him kisses so I don’t break down to pieces

[Pre-Chorus]
And now he’s hungry, I’ll feed him candy
You’re screaming at me loud, screaming at me loud, screaming at me loud

[Chorus]
Baby, I’m your possession, handle me like a weapon

Gaslight me right, tell me, “Keep quiet”
I’ll go along, di-di-dum
Put me up like a prize, I’ll be a good housewife
You won’t see me cry when women come by
I’ll go along, di-di-dum

[Post-Chorus]
Dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di, dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum

[Verse 2]
He leaves me all alone, from dusk to fu*king dawn
I’ll clean up after all his s*it, I’m the housekeeper
He comes home drunk at night, of course he picks a fight
I try my best to bite my tongue, but it keeps bleeding

[Pre-Chorus]
How could he love me if he won’t see me?
I’m crying with a knife, wanna take my life, never treats me right

[Chorus]
Baby, I’m your possession, handle me like a weapon
Gaslight me right, tell me, “Keep quiet”

I’ll go along, di-di-dum
Put me up like a prize, I’ll be a good housewife
You won’t see me cry when women come by
I’ll go along, di-di-dum

[Post-Chorus]
Dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di, dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum

[Outro]
Took the keys and left, drove into a tree
Looked around for a minute, people staring at me
A concussion reversing all the damage I had
May be bruised, but it’s not that bad
