Don't get mad if I treat me
|
To a day I only shop for me
|
Don't get mad if I buy the clothes
|
That you think are not the style for me
|
Who I am is not what I wear
|
And what I think has nothing to do with hair
|
Love me by what my heart shows
|
But it seems like you just can't let it go
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You keep talking bout my clothes
|
But the clothes don't make the woman
|
You keep talking bout my hair
|
But this hair can't give you lovin'
|
(Only me)
|
You keep talkin bout my shoes
|
But my shoes don't make me money
|
Now why you actin so hysterical
|
I'm so much more than material
|
|
Don't get mad if I treat me
|
To a day of cosmotology
|
Don't get mad if you see me
|
Exploring different sides of me
|
Deep inside of my outer shell
|
There's only so much I'd show and tell
|
Love me like the real girl you know
|
But it seems that you just can't let it go
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
More than material
|
More than the typical
|
More than just a video
|
A respectable
|
And effectual, girl
|
|
[Repeat]
|
|
[Chorus]
|

More Than Material
