Chronic People Pleaser Songtext
von Phoebe Katis

He put a gun to my head
And then he lovingly said
I had to choose between myself and my friends
I said baby what do you mean
It′s just a party
Fourth in a row & I'll sleep when I′m dead

Ever since I was six
I had to learn all the tricks
To make sure everyone wanted me around
And now I've got it down good
As any extrovert would
And it's cool coz I wear it as my crown

Cause I′m a chronic people pleaser
I don′t know how to let anyone down
Chew me up, spit me out
That's the shit I′m on about
Tell me what you need and don't hold back on me now


I hear the voice in my head
As I shake off the dead weight
Of the promise I made seconds ago
You don′t have what it takes
That was one big mistake
They're gonna find out that you′re a big fat joke

But I just want is best
For everyone I won't rest
Until I've given my body and my breath
And when I′m finally home
I know I won′t be alone
With my dreams sitting right where they've been left

Cause I′m a chronic people pleaser
I don't know how to let anyone down
Chew me up, spit me out
That′s the shit I'm on about
Tell me what you need and don′t hold back on me now

Oh I'm a chronic people pleaser
I don't know when to say no to my friends
Empathy is my good health
You′ll never make me choose myself
Tell me what you need and don′t' hold back on me


Cause the world keeps turning whether I am
Giving or I′m taking everything I ever wanted
But I'm a good good person
Tell me I′m a good good person?
Please

Cause I'm a chronic people pleaser
I don′t know how to let anyone down
Chew me up, spit me out
That's all I can think about
Tell me what you need I'm begging you can′t you see?

That I′m a chronic people pleaser
I'd rather die than let a favour pass me by
Empathy is my excuse
For my own self worth abuse
Tell me you love me and don′t hold back on me now
