Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You can paint me any color and I can be your clown

But you ain't got my number, yeah, you can't pin me down

Yeah, you can't pin me down, yeah, you can't pin me down

[Verse 2]

Now I got your back up, what do you not like

Do you think I'm stuck up 'cause I'm always pickin' fights?

You might think I'm one thing but I am another

You can't call my bluff, time to back off, motherfucker

[Verse 3]

Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem?

I'm happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband

[Verse 4]

You can paint me any color and I can be your clown

But you ain't got my number, no, you can't pin me down

Yeah, you can't pin me down, yeah, you can't pin me down

[Verse 5]

You ain't got me sussed yet, you're not even close

Baby, it's the one thing that I hate the most

All these contradictions pourin' out of me

Just another girl in the 21st century

[Verse 6]

I am never gonna give you anything you expect

You think I'm like the others boy, you need to get your eyes

Checked, checked

[Verse 7]

You can paint me any color and I can be your clown

But you ain't got my number, no, you can't pin me down

Yeah, you can't pin me down, yeah, you can't pin me down

[Verse 8]

I could be your sister, I could be your mother

I could be your neighbor, I could be your lover

Do you like my body, do you like my mind?

What is it that you are having trouble to define?

[Verse 9]

I am never gonna give you anything you expect

You think I'm like the others, boy, you need to get your eyes

Checked, checked

[Verse 10]

You can paint me any color and I can be your Russian doll

But you ain't got my number, no, you can't make me small

You can paint me any color and I can be your clown

But you ain't got my number, no, you can't pin me down

Yeah, you can't pin me down, yeah, you can't pin me down

Yeah, you can't pin me down, yeah, you can't pin me down
