Alis Rowe - High Maintenance

I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to maintain me
Are you up to the task
I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to entertain me
Will you give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
You didn't know but you await me
Trying to give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
But it's my needs that do sustain me
Will you follow on my path

The first time I met you I warned you I was high maintenance
You thought I meant clothes and shoes, but it was more like sentiments
I assert my dominance, you know I'm not modest, and
With my prominence, but you feel inadequate
I don't ask much of you and I don't want your gifts
All I want is your time and your companionship
You just find me difficult, I nag you like a drip
You're seeing life through my eyes, you find me demanding

I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to maintain me
Are you up to the task
I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to entertain me
Will you give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
You didn't know but you await me
Trying to give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
But it's my needs that do sustain me
Will you follow on my path

You weren't used to this perspective
You've been used to being reckless
I grew up so introspective
So I know what is effective
I know how to live life right
You admit my ways are tight
But you're just not used to this
It's like your story was rewrite
But I'm still too hard for you
Because I'm too unusual
Truthful is useful to me
You, you must be so cool
I don't care about that life
The world is too delusional
I will set you on your way
Away from a world too cruel

I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to maintain me
Are you up to the task
I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to entertain me
Will you give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
You didn't know but you await me
Trying to give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
But it's my needs that do sustain me
Will you follow on my path

Your dreams have bargained, cuz of what I'm like
Things have to be a certain way, it got you sighing like
You think I whine like, but you know I shine bright
When the rules are followed, because they are not guidelines
I don't mean to be hard work, it's just the way I am
I am clockwork, no teamwork, and short attention span
You're laughing at me for odd quirks thinking I am strange
I wasn't really making jokes, this really is my way

I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to maintain me
Are you up to the task?
I'm high maintenance
So do you know how to entertain me
Will you give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
You didn't know but you await me
Trying to give me what I ask
I'm high maintenance
But it's my needs that do sustain me
Will you follow on my path

Will you follow on my path
Will you follow on my path
