Porcelain Doll

I can't even believe we're having this conversation again, oh my god.

Here's the thing

I need you to stop treatin' me as if I'm simple or naive.

As if I don't know nothing bout the world.

I understand you think you protecting me, but I could use a little room to breathe

And the respect you give a woman not a girl

Here's the thing

I appreciate all the love

The constant catering kisses and hugs

But lately I'm wondering what you do it for

If the reason you act all over sweet is cause you want to keep me on a leash.

I have no choice but to show you the door.

[Chorus: x2]

If you want to cradle me like a little girl

And lock me down

I'm not your possession

I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll

Here's the thing you wanna put me in fancy clothes

And take me everywhere you go

And show me off to all your fancy friends

Well here's the thing

I really don't mind the clothes

I love a nice dress with some open toes

But a trophy I'm not, So baby think again

(Hey) and Here's the thing

You always wanna hold my hand

And say things to me like I'm the man So let me do what a man's suppose to do

Well here's the thing you can be the man all the while

Understanding I am not a child

You're a man for sure, but baby I'm grown too

Hey hey

[Chorus: x2]

Said you gotta respect me totally

Otherwise I'm goin' up and leave

And baby I know you don't want me to do that.

So you gotta respect me totally, so when I say back up off of me

Just kiss my cheek and when I leave move back

[Chorus: x2]

I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll

One more time

I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
