Lyrics

You went to church in a mini skirt
They said you better cover up
But you were wearing more than Jesus on the cross up above
You tell them 'I am Madonna
I'm a Madonna and a whore
Don't you make me into less than that
Don't you make me into more'
You went to temple just to meditate
You heard that it could free your mind
They said your body's gonna desecrate the purity of our shrine
But tell me can a little cleavage hinder the the freedom of the soul
When you are aiming just to be with whatever it is that you behold
I am not a lady you can tame
I am not a girl that you can shame
I am not a woman you can name
I'm an enigma
You went to buy yourself a fender
You put the ukulele down
They always seem to use your gender
When they're describing how you sound
Sometimes you put a pretty show on
Sometimes you turn it up a lot
One day you sing a little folk song
One day you wanna fuckin' rock
I am not a damsel in distress
I'm not the wicked witch of the west
I am not a holy high priestess
I'm an enigma, enigma
You went to heaven in the backseat
You never caught that angel's name
Found your knight in shining armor
But you hold the whip and chain
They tell you that you have to pick one
One kind of woman you can be
But baby you're a contradiction made up of multitudes
At least
I am not a trophy you can claim
I am not a prude
A virgin dame
I didn't wear this just to entertain
I'm an enigma
I am not a dollface in a dress
I am not an icy-queen
Heartless
I'm not the perfect mother manifest
I'm an enigma, enigma
I am not a lady you can tame
I am not a girl that you can shame
I am not a woman you can name
I'm an enigma, enigma, enigma
