Don’t Be Fooled

Gemma Griffin

thinks she's all that.

Rich mum and dad

little Miss Perfect.

Yeah, she thinks she's all that.

Acts all shy,

victim-like —

couldn't be

further from the truth.

She gives as good as she gets,

and that's a fact.

Yeah, she thinks she's all that.

I know what she's thinking,

looking down on me.

I see her,

she doesn't need to say it,

I can just tell.

‘I wouldn't say a bad word about anyone’ eyes

‘I'm so innocent’ face

‘I'm minding my own business’ HAIR

I see it.

Yeah, she thinks she's all that.

Looks at me

like I'm…

like I'm…

Nothing.

Yeah, she thinks she's all THAT.
