Why Self Esteem’s ‘A Complicated Woman’ refuses an easy victory lap
Rebecca Lucy Taylor’s third album puts empowerment beside exhaustion, obligation and doubt, asking what happens when getting what you wanted still leaves difficult questions behind.
Lyrics
69
Interactions with some other people's genitals I don't, oh, my God, I don't like 69-ing I don't like when, 'cause I need, I can't focus on my dick getting sucked If I'm sucking someone else's dick You know what I mean? And I don't like the view, just -
Yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah) Doggy style feels alright Missionary, 40 calories burned for me (yeah, yeah, yeah) Scissoring, I find that interesting Spooning is always soothing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But the one thing I hatе 'Cause I can't concentrate No, I just can't abidе Yeah, I've never the time to 69
69 (yeah, yeah, yeah) 69 (yeah, yeah, yeah) 69 (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Standing is muscle mass depending (yeah, yeah, yeah) Reverse cowgirl is too much fun withholding If you beg, I will peg (yeah, yeah, yeah) Your ankles raised up by my head
But the one thing I hate 'Cause I can't concentrate No, I just can't abide I've never the time to 69 (yeah, yeah, yeah)
69 To 69 (yeah, yeah, yeah) 69
Eiffel Tower, butter churner Turn me 'round, let's see that mirror (yeah, yeah, yeah) Choking is superfluous Consent serves the both of us Lotus, tigress, T-shape, let's make a mess (yeah, yeah, yeah) Full grind, reach behind, always somewhere on my mind
But the one thing I hate 'Cause I can't concentrate No, I just can't abide I've never the time to 69 (yeah, yeah, yeah)
69 69 (yeah, yeah, yeah) 69
Yes, no (yeah, yeah, yeah) Yes, no (whoo) Yes, no (yeah, yeah, yeah) Yes, no Yes, no (yeah, yeah, yeah) Yes, no Yes, no (yeah, yeah, yeah) Yes, no
Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Yes (hold on), no (hold on) Yes (hold on), no (hold on) Yes (hold on), no (hold on) Yes (hold on), no (hold on)
