Don't want no marble statue
Smooth and cold as ice
Not some man-made goddess
Custom cut out of spice
Don't need no great big set of charms
To tempt my heart
Prefer the feel of something real
Over plastic art
Well Aphrodite's got grace
But she ain't the face I know and I love
'Cause I got blood in these veins
While she's some spooky dame
Lost in the Heavens above
Why do you wanna be Venus
When your light shines brighter than the brightest star?
Why do you wanna be anyone else
Other than who you are?
Why do you wanna be Venus
When you're so much more than she could ever be?
Yeah, I feel like I'm losing you
Come back to me
Don't want no hand-made, inlaid
Porcelain china doll
Not some babe who comes unstitched
Before every mirror on the wall
Yeah, be Mylo some peace
No thanks, please
Not my cup of tea
'Cause I want flesh and bone
And not some block of stone
Lying in bed next to me
Why do you wanna be Venus
When your light shines brighter than the brightest star?
Why do you wanna be anyone else
Other than who you are?
Why do you wanna be Venus
When you're so much more than she could ever be?
Yeah, I feel like I'm losing you
Blame it on those hippie dreams of beauty queens
Who kowtow to the pressure
Prescribing to the point of view that
Bigger is better
Yeah, those tattooed lips, those vacuumed hips
This whole insanity
Remember what you do, you do for you and not for me
Why do you wanna be Venus
When your light shines brighter than the brightest star?
Why do you wanna be anyone else
Other than who you are?
Why do you wanna be Venus
When you're so much more than she could ever be?
Yeah, I feel like I'm losing you
Come back to me
Baby, please come back to me
Come back, yeah
Don't want no marble statue
Smooth and cold as ice
Baby, please come back to me
Don't want no marble statue
Smooth and cold as ice
