lyrics
I know what you’re thinking,
I should be prim and proper.
No elbows on the table,
Cross your legs like this.
I know what you’re thinking,
I should be nice and lady-like.
Smile at the president,
Clap your hands like this.
You say, I should be polite
Be quiet, hide your battle cry.
You say, I should just comply;
But hold tight, fuck that,
I’m just kinda nice.
I know what you're thinking,
Does it keep you up at night?
You thought my hands were tied,
But my body is mine.
You help yourself to everything,
You think you even own the music.
Let me tell you something,
I've got a voice and I'll use it.
You say, I should be polite,
Be quiet, hide your battle cry.
You say, I should just comply;
But hold tight, fuck that,
I’m just kinda nice.
She was warned,
She was given an explanation.
She was warned,
Nevertheless she persisted.
They were warned,
They were given an explanation.
Don’t tell me what to do!
Cause I do what I wanna! x6
You say, I should be polite,
Be quiet, hide your battle cry.
You say, I should just comply;
But hold tight, fuck that,
I’m just kinda nice.
