Lady Please

I might burst
She doesn't love me
She doesn't know to put me first
I might cry
The years of trying
The thirty since I came out dazzling

Lady, please
You're better than that
Lady, please
You're better than that

Was always listening to the magazines
They're spitting shit about the thinness of my body
Was always dancing to a melody
That told me less of me meant people thought more of me
Was taught to feel more of that jealousy
When I saw women rising up bеyond my ceiling
Was shown illusions that I better bе
And baby, let me tell you now that I am seething

Lady, please
You're better than that
Lady, please
You're better than that

I might curse
A fucked up nation
That somehow seems is slowly getting worse
But we deserve
A celebration
Where shape and skin will not define our worth

Lady, please
You're better than that
Lady, please
You're better than that
Lady, please
You're better than that
Lady, please
You're better than that
