Tema[]
Esta canción trata sobre personas que acosan a Melanie en la escuela, pero ella ha superado sus palabras desde entonces. A los matones se les conoce metafóricamente como "puercoespines". Esta canción también trata sobre vengarse de las personas que se burlaron de ella insultándolas.[3]
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
Drown me in my daily cup of tea
Tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me
They make me fall but I will stand
'Cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands
Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me
'Cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TVs
But what about little ol', little ol' me?
The one who got bullied because of her teeth
[Coro]
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
To the bullies in the school yard, I know I'm on your mind
Now you say you love me but what about before?
When I was just that silly little girl next door, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah
[Estrofa 2]
Ladies, oh, ladies, why are you so mad?
Is it 'cause I'm classy and you're a trash bag?
Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart
And now you're calling me 'cause you want a fresh start
Now look at you boys, you can't believe your eyes
You told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise
You should've been nicer 'cause look where I'm at
While you copy Mac Miller wearing snapback hats
[Coro]
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
To the bullies in the school yard, I know I'm on your mind
Now you say you love me but what about before?
When I was just that silly little girl next door
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah
[Puente]
Why must you be so mean, talking shit about me?
All I wanted was a friend to laugh and cry
And spend all of eternity or even just a week
Ah-ah, even just a week
Ha, ha, ha, ah
[Coro]
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
To the bullies in the school yard, I know I'm on your mind
Now you say you love me but what about before?
When I was just that silly little girl next door
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
To the bullies in the school yard, I know I'm on your mind
Now you say you love me but what about before?
When I was just that silly little girl next door, ooh-ooh
[Estrofa 1]
Drown me in my daily cup of tea

'Cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TVs
But what about little ol', little ol' me?
The one who got bullied because of her teeth
[Coro]
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
