Lyrics

Intro:
I used to worry about everything.
What they thought.
What they said.
What I did wrong.
Then one morning...
I just stopped.
Verse 1:
I used to check the mirror
Before I walked outside
Wondering if somebody
Would like the way I looked that night
I changed the way I talked
I changed the way I dressed
Spent half my life trying to be
What everybody else expected
Verse 2:
Then one Tuesday morning
I spilled coffee on my shirt
My hair was doing something
That definitely wasn't work
I looked into the mirror
And started laughing at myself
Said, "Girl, you've spent enough time
Trying to impress somebody else"
Chorus:
That was the day I quit caring
What everybody had to say
I stopped asking for permission
And started living my own way
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare
Let 'em think whatever they want
Life got a whole lot lighter
The day I quit caring what they thought
The day I quit caring what they thought
Verse 3:
I quit explaining every choice
I quit defending every move
I quit letting somebody else's
Opinion tell me what to do
Some people liked the old me
Some didn't like me at all
Funny how I finally found myself
When I stopped trying to please them all
Verse 4:
Now I wear what I wanna wear
I say what I wanna say
If somebody doesn't like it
Well, they can look the other way
I ain't trying to be perfect
I ain't trying to win no prize
I'm just finally comfortable
Living my own damn life
Chorus:
That was the day I quit caring
What everybody had to say
I stopped asking for permission
And started living my own way
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare
Let 'em think whatever they want
Life got a whole lot lighter
The day I quit caring what they thought
