I can't even believe we're havin' this conversation again
|
|
Oh my God
|
|
Here's the thing I need you to stop treatin' me
|
|
As if I'm simple or naive
|
|
As if I don't know nothin' 'bout the world
|
|
I understand you think you're protectin' me
|
|
Well, I could use a little room to breathe
|
|
And the respect you give a woman not a girl
|
|
Here's the thing I appreciate all the love
|
|
The constant caterin', kisses and hugs
|
|
But lately I'm wonderin' what you do it for
|
|
If the reason you act all over sweet is
|
|
'Cause you want to keep me on a leash
|
|
I have no choice but to show you the door
|
|
If you wanna cradle me like a little girl
|
|
And lock me down, I'm not your possession
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll
|
|
If you wanna cradle me like a little girl
|
|
And lock me down, I'm not your possession
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll
|
|
Here's the thing you wanna put me in fancy clothes
|
|
And take me everywhere you go
|
|
And show me off to all your fancy friends, okay
|
|
Well, here's the thing I really don't mind the clothes
|
|
I love a nice dress with some open toes
|
|
But a trophy I'm not so baby think again, hey
|
|
And here's the thing you always wanna hold my hand
|
|
And say things to me like I'm the man
|
|
So let me do what a man's suppose to do, okay
|
|
Well, here's the thing you can be the man all the while
|
|
Understandin' I'm not a child
|
|
You're the man for sure but baby I'm grown too, hey
|
|
If you wanna cradle me like a little girl
|
|
And lock me down, I'm not your possession
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll
|
|
If you wanna cradle me like a little girl
|
|
And lock me down, I'm not your possession
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll
|
|
Said you gotta respect me totally otherwise I'm gonna up and leave
|
|
And baby I know you don't want me to do that
|
|
Babe you gotta respect me totally, so when I say back up off of me
|
|
Just kiss my cheek and politely move back
|
|
Oh, you wanna cradle me like a little girl
|
|
And lock me down, I'm not your possession
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll, hey, hey, hey
|
|
You wanna cradle me like a little girl
|
|
And lock me down, I'm not your possession
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll, hey, hey, hey
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll, one more time
|
|
I'm a full grown woman, I am not your porcelain doll
|
|
That's it in a nutshell
