Lady

[Verse 1]

I don't wanna stand up straight

Saying yes to every date

No is rude, a boy likes you

You're lucky to find someone

Think about what's on the plate

And don't you dare gain the weight

Leave the food, it's up to you

Cause how will you meet someone?

[Pre-Chorus]

If you're not giving picture perfect magazine

Picked apart, start with the broken seams

I'll teach my daughter what it means

To be a woman

[Chorus]

'Cause what makes a la-a-a-ady (A lady)

Is not what I'm rai-ai-ai-aising (I'm raising)

I wanna show her a world where no means no

If you wanna leave, you go

Picking yourself apart gеts you nowhere but it makes you insa-a-anе

To be a lady

Mmm, would be shame

[Verse 2]

Careful of the words you use

It's not ladylike to let loose

Fuck this and fuck that too

They wanna censor you

And disguise it as politeness

You get silenced if you fight it

And they mind it if you mind it

So it's best to be reminded that

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll teach my daughter what it means

To be a woman

Oh-oh

[Chorus]

What makes a la-a-a-ady (A lady)

Is not what I'm rai-ai-ai-aising (I'm raising)

I wanna show her a world where no means no

If you wanna leave, you go

Picking yourself apart gets you nowhere but it makes you insa-a-ane

To be a lady

Mmm

[Bridge]

Would be a shame to dull your voice

It'd be a shame to not have choice

It'd be a shame for other women

To sit and poise yourself for points

And in the end who really wins?

When you're you're so well spoken and slim

And you've spent all your extra hours

Being a man's perfect sim

[Chorus]

'Cause what makes a la-a-a-ady, mm

Is not what I'm rai-ai-ai-aising, mm

I wanna show her a world where no means no (Oh)

If you wanna leave, you go (Oh-oh)

Picking yourself apart gets you nowhere but it makes you insa-a-ane

To be a lady

Mmm, would be shame
