I Am Not A Robot
Marina and the Diamonds Lyrics

You've been acting awful tough lately
Lately, you've been putting on a front of strength and toughness

Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
You've been indulging in self-destructive behavior

But inside, you're just a little baby
Despite your tough exterior, you're vulnerable and fragile inside

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
It's okay to admit that you have vulnerabilities or weaknesses

You don't always have to be on top
You don't always have to be in control or successful

Better to be hated
It's better to have people disapprove of you

Than lived loved loved for what your not
Rather than being loved for a false persona or pretending to be someone you're not

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not invincible, you have weaknesses

You are not a robot
You are not an emotionless machine

You're lovable, so lovable
You are worthy of love

But you're just troubled
You are experiencing difficulties or problems

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
I too am human and have emotions

You've been hanging with the unloved kids
You've been spending time with people who are not typically embraced by society

Who you never really liked and you never trusted
People you never truly cared for or felt comfortable around

But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Despite not genuinely connecting with these people, you have a natural ability to attract them to you

Never committing to anything
You avoid making commitments or taking risks

You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
You avoid answering phone calls or dealing with difficult problems

Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
Don't be weak or cowardly, be vulnerable and express your feelings

Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you help me connect with my true emotions?

Can you turn my power on?
Can you help me feel powerful and in control of my life?

Well, let the drum beat drop
Let the rhythm and energy build up
