Lyrics

Two little girls
With their heads up in the clouds
Dreaming like the rest
Didn't stick out from the crowd
But between themselves
They knew that they were different
But they pushed it down
'Cause nobody would even listen
Their parents always saying
"Girl, when you grow up
You're gonna find a nice man
Make sure you're pretty enough
You'll be living a life like Barbie and Ken
C'mon, suck it up and forget this nonsense"
What if it's not Ken but Barbie?
Why should she have to say sorry?
Tell me, do you even listen
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'?
We can love who we want to
Don't say she's not supposed to
If it's not Ken but Barbie
She doesn't have to say sorry
No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you, not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Hiding how she feels
Saying things like, "Love ain't real"
All just to conceal that she's not society's ideal
Hearing what they say
About those who feel the same way
She's really not okay
Tells herself, it's just a phase
Her parents always saying
"Girl, when will you see?
You don't know what you want
Trust us, we know what you need
You'll be with your own Ken
Oh so happily, it's no way to live with another Barbie"
But what if it's not Ken but Barbie?
Why should she have to say sorry?
Tell me, do you even listen
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'?
We can love who we want to
Don't say she's not supposed to
If it's not Ken but Barbie
She doesn't have to say sorry
No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you, not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
No, no
She doesn't have to say sorry
No, no
She's never gonna say sorry
She never wanted Ken but Barbie
She never ever has to say sorry
And nobody is gonna listen
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'
We can love who we want to
Don't say she's not supposed to
It'll never be Ken but always Barbie
And she doesn't have to say sorry to you
