I’m such a girl
In all the ways society
Tells me to behave
Feel think, believe and atrophy
I say that I don’t like it
They say that I’ll adjust
As long as I do my part
Sit still and let them lust
Take my hands and bind them
Try to tie me down
Take my feet and tie them
My silence is your crown
Well, I am not your trophy
To display upon your shelf
I am not your footstool
Bend before your wicked self
Smile pretty, stand up straight
Serve him ‘til your bloody
Get on your knees, beg him please
For your own goddamn money
Texting, calling, showing up
He’s free to move about
But when it comes to little me
My freedom is in doubt
I’m kind, I’m patient, generous
I listen to your stories
All I ask in return
Is allegiance to my glory
Cuz I am such a girl
In all the ways I was designed
To walk this earth and use my voice
Every fucking time
So take your hands and raise them
Worship woman kind
Take your feet and dance them
It’s tenderness you’ll find
The world needs your loving
Open-hearted self
Stop your futile striving
Surrender, all is well
I’m kind, I’m patient, generous
I listen to your stories
All I ask in return
Is allegiance to my glory
Cuz I am such a girl
In all the ways I was designed
To walk this earth and use my voice
Every fucking time
