When this song’s stuck in your head, and you want to kill us dead
We’re judging you, we’re judging you
Perhaps you should write a verse, but you think you’ll make it worse
Write away, it’s OK
But we’re judging you
– Emily L
I’m Judging You has turned out to represent some universal experiences for our listeners. Even before releasing the song, we had written a sizable number of alternate verses, and after we began performing it, fans started writing their own. We’ve collected as many of them as we can here.
I wrote a verse! Please put it here.
