Innocent I'M Not
Don't say I'm perfect because you're wrong
I do hardly anything right the first time
I have to practice just like you
Studying, practicing, learning, listening
Don't say "you're so smart"
Because honestly, I think I'm not
So please don't say things you don't understand
Don't say I'm innocent because no one is
I've lied, I've cheated, and I've been a pain
It just doesn't flow when you say it's all right
Because it never is and I mess up too
Perfect, smart, innocent, I'm not
