Ever since I was a little girl
They said, "Pretty baby, you could have the whole world
You'll grow up to be a beauty and every man's dream"
But I wanted so much more
Than just waiting on a man to open the door
Don't you know by now there's so much more to me?
I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know
Ohh-ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh
Maybe we should call it quits
You don't like women who talk like this
I'm a real sharp shooter and I don't see no reason to change
So now you've fallen for a pretty face
But I'm not some woman you can keep in her place
You wanna be my man, you better listen when I say
I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know
Ohh-ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh
To all of you cowboys
Whistling at all the pretty ladies
What makes you think we can't buy our own drinks
And that every queen is waiting on a king?
I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know
I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know
Ohh-ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh
If I wanted your opinion, you would know
