My Body 03:25
He only loves me with lights out/ he says I’m beautiful in the dark/ he never holds my hand/ says I’m not a little girl I’m grown woman/ says looking like this/ its my own mess/ some nights I just wish it would end/ I only love me with the lights on/ cuz when the lights on/ I’m alone/ my body is a house but it an’t no home/ if you’re calling leave a message at the tone/ if you’re here to fix my body/ don’t. My body/ my body/ was made for nobody/ everybody/ understand that my body is mine/ cuz my body’s nothing to hide/ my body is more than meets the eye/ but I’m more than this body of mine/ He only loves me with my clothes off/ and when I’m criticized and bare/ he says I should feel lucky/ someone want me/ I push him off me/ he only lusts me/ l look him in the eye/ I tell him I love me/ My body/ my body/ was made for nobody/ everybody/ understand that my body is mine/ cuz my body’s nothing to hide/ my body is more than meets the eye/ but I’m more than this body of mine/ Don’t try to blow me out like a candle/ don’t try take the love out of love handle/ don’t cover me up in red tape/ cuz my body’s not a scandal/ no/ My body/ my body/ was made for nobody/ everybody/ understand that my body is mine/ cuz my body’s nothing to hide/ My body/ my body/ was made for nobody/ everybody/ understand that my body is mine/ cuz my body’s nothing to hide/ my body is more than meets the eye/ but I’m more than this body of mine/ My body is more than meets the eye: my body is mine/

She sings a merry tune to make the day go by. She sings a merry tune, but she knows she's singing a lie. The words taste sour in her mouth and the tune makes her want to cry. cuz she gets paid 30% percent less for the same melody sung by a guy She's the entertainer but she's not entertained She's the entertainer and she's not okay She can dance she drive she works from 9-5 she can cook she can clean she can write she can read she speak she can shout but no ones hermaring her out unless her shirt is pulled down So she is waltzing on her own and she is running then over she quitting her job and she is making them slop she is brushing off the broomstick she is writing a book and she is starring down the barrel and giving it a look Cuz she's the entertainer but she's not entertained Shea the entertainer and she making a change Come on entertain her; give her some space or just let choke: come on entertainer; she's funny but she's not a joke She's the entertainer: but she not entertained She's the entertainer and she's make her own way
