Spoiled Rotten

[ Lyrics ]

If spoiled means knowing my worth — I’m spoiled rotten.

Eight years old, finger on the satin dress,
they said, “You don’t need that,” I said, “I do, I guess.”
Not because it sparkled, not because it cost,
but ’cause I wanted something that the world forgot —
to treat me like I mattered, like I counted from the start.
Now I see that moment — that was the first spark.
They called it selfish, I called it truth,
taught myself the language of self-love, in youth.

I don’t ask for miracles, I don’t need a throne,
just consistency, candles lit when I come home.
Not a knight, but someone who shows, you know?
The kind of love that moves like slow design.

If spoiled means knowing my worth — I’m spoiled rotten.
If careful means I choose the best — I’m spoiled rotten.
You tried to shame the dream out me, it only grew.
Now my life is soft, my love is true.

They said no man would stay — “Too picky, too precise.”
But he plans the weekend, knows I like iced tea twice.
Writes my name in the notes on his phone,
remembers I hate the sound of the microwave tone.
It’s not grand gestures, it’s the daily things —
the way he hears the silence my heart sometimes sings.
I’m not hard to love, I’m just hard to fake.
And he doesn’t try — he just stays in his lane.

I don’t need a throne, I need a home,
where my standards aren’t threats — they’re where I’m known.
Not a flaw to fix, not a curse to fight,
my discernment’s the bloom after years of night.

If spoiled means knowing my worth — I’m spoiled rotten.
If loyal means I don’t accept less — I’m spoiled rotten.
You called it weakness, I called it grace.
Now I wear my needs like a high-cut lace.

That little girl? She’s still inside.
She smiles when I rise, when I draw the line.
She’s not angry — she’s proud, finally seen.
I gave her the life she painted in dreams.

If spoiled means knowing my worth — I’m spoiled rotten.
If healed means I no longer beg — I’m spoiled rotten.
You said I’d break — I built a crown.
Now the whole world sees me — I’m sticking around.

Yeah… I’m spoiled rotten.
