Ladylike

Speak only when spoken to

This is not the look that suits you

You should dye your hair, you should get a tan

You should gain weight but not too much

And I knew it from the start

That it would have been this hard

But they won't make me fall apart

They say that I'm not kind

W-when I speak my mind

And maybe this is why

I'm not ladylike

Can't say what's on my mind

I have to say the right thing

At the right time

'Say hi'!

'Go, smile'!

And wa-a-ave all the damn time

They say: 'Don't be so honest'

But I'm crystal clear ocean water

Don't you know? I'm in constant frenzy

Hey, I don't have a penny, but I dream of the Grammys

They say that I'm not kind

W-when I speak my mind

And maybe this is why

I'm not ladylike

Ladylike

Ladylike

I'm not ladylike

'Blonde girls shouldn't write sharp lyrics

Just play the role girl, or you'll get critics

Smooth edges, then you'll look pretty'

But I can't deny the truth I'm breathing

But the diss ain't in my weelhouse

It would burn all their castles down

The bigger they are, the harder they fall

And for what it's worth I'm begging it all

They say that I'm not kind

W-when I speak my mind

And maybe this is why

I'm not ladylike

Ladylike

Ladylike

And maybe this is why

I'm not ladylike

And I'm not ladylike

Cause instead of Austen I read 'Frankenstein'
