(Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly)
(You're so afraid)
(Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly) (You're so afraid)
(Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly)
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay, 'cause you're only human
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay, 'cause you're only human
You're so afraid of what people might say
You're going to break, so please don't do it
We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me
