Why do they only hear me

When I say it so eloquently, say it softly

Who gets to tell me how I

Put clothes on, move in my, live in my body

Who’s gonna stop me?

I’m not your mother

And you don’t get my permission

If you feel like I’m talking to you

Listen

Don’t treat me like that

Don’t treat me like that

I’m not a person on a pedestal

Stuck in your head

What version of me do you see deserving respect?

Don’t treat, don’t treat me like

Do you only listen to women

If you have the chance of seeing them naked?

If you like the way I look

Would you listen to me closer?

Look closer.

I’m not your mother

And you don’t get my permission

If you feel like I’m talking to you

Listen

Don’t treat me like that

Don’t treat me like that

I’m not a person on a pedestal

Stuck in your head

What version of me do you see deserving respect?

Don’t treat, don’t treat me like that

I wanna walk alone when I go out tonight!

Not clutching on my keys and scared I’m gonna die!

Don’t wanna overanalyze that dress I like!

When I go out tonight, when I go out tonight!

Don’t treat me like that

Don’t treat me like that

I’m not a person on a pedestal

Stuck in your head

What version of me do you see deserving respect?

Don’t treat, don’t treat me like that

Don’t treat me like that, don’t treat me like

Don’t treat, don’t treat me like

Don’t treat, don’t treat me like

Don’t treat, don’t treat me like that
