I know you have opinions but
I don't, I don't wanna hear 'em
When I was younger I was told
You can do anything when you grow old,
As long as you work hard, play smart,
Think with your head but always follow your heart
What a nice daydream I was sold
You say the way I behave should be toned down but I won't
'Cause I know I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't...
I know you have opinions but
I don't, I don't wanna hear 'em 'cause
I'd rather be myself than change for someone else
(Change for someone else)
And you say "be more like a lady"
But I'll take the lead from the woman who raised me
Times up, better be on your way
If you've got nothing nice to say
Don't get me wrong, I'm not just trying to find
Any excuse to bring this up all the time.
And I would be rich now if I had a pound
For every time they say they're "messing around".
You say you mean no offence but turns out still kinda hurts
So how about a compliment?
'Cause treat em mean to keep us keen won't work!
I know you have opinions but
I don't, I don't wanna hear 'em 'cause
I'd rather be myself than change for someone else
(Change for someone else)
And you say "be more like a lady"
But I'll take the lead from the woman who raised me
Times up, better be on your way
If you've got nothing nice to say
"Cover up" but "show some skin"
If I run like a girl does that mean I won't win?
And should I always smile just to make you feel better?
Does it make me a bitch if I try to reject ya?
I'm a boss! So don't call me honey
I've been doing your job while I'm making less money
At the top you know there's room for so many
But I still have to say "times up" in 2020
I know you have opinions but
I don't, I don't wanna hear 'em 'cause
I'd rather be myself than change for someone else
(Change for someone else)
So you say "be more like a lady"
But I say good luck tryna change me!
Times up, better be on your way,
If you've got nothing nice to say
