10%

10% Lyrics

you were sleeping off the last one

when you said you loved me

didn’t even wake up

couldn’t remember in the morning

had it all been a dream?

well baby I was wide awake

must be fun in that dream

well baby I’ve been waiting for you just to love me in the day

ooh oh

you were full from your last meal

when you saw me looking yummy

falling for me real sweet

like a dog with anyone who’s got a treat

oh my love is a feast

you gorge yourself throw up on 12th street

gave it all back to me

all chewed up mixed up with some stomach acid and heat ugh

ooh oh

my time isn’t free

clocking hours, emo laboring

are you racking up a big check just to leave me 10% ?

I wish you wouldn’t love me

ooh oh

I wish you wouldn’t love me like that like that

ooh oh

I wish you wouldn’t love me like that like that

my time isn’t free

clocking hours, emo laboring

are you racking up a big check just to leave me 10% ?

I wish you wouldn’t love me

ooh oh

I wish you wouldn’t love me like that like that

ooh oh

I wish you wouldn’t love me like that like that

Catchy, heartbreaking and whip-smart, “10%” is a late entry as one of the year’s very best songs.

- Stereo Embers

There’s so much tender beauty to “10%,” lush in its sonic details but stripped-back when it matters. Gracie Martin is special — she’s telling the stories that sit deep inside her soul, sharing them with us in haunting folk fragments that whirl like ghosts when they hit the ear.

- Savannah Davanzo for The Music Mermaid

Gracie’s portrayal of rejection feels strikingly personal; under her guise of cleverly crafted metaphors lie shades of vulnerability and melancholia.

- Riff Raff
