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 beyond my ceiling

Was shown illusions that I better be

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
