Fashion Show
Don't you smile at me when you shake my hand
I know who I am and I know where I stand
its taken so long for me to get where I am
I wouldn't trade places with you because I'm stronger than any other woman
Don't you blush when you say my name
in fact don't say my name at all
Don't say that you'll give me a ring
because you know that you never call
Though you're well put together outside,
on the inside there's not much going on
Don't say that I too could fit in
cause with you I'd never wanna belong
I don't care what they say,
and I don't care what they know
My life is not a window display
and I don't live in a fashion show
Don't introduce me as a friend of yours
to a friend that I don't say the same
and don't give me a big phoney hug
cause I know its all a part of your game
I don't want anything thing to do with someone
who doesn't know that I can see through them
you're wrong if you think I wanna be like you
move along, because I like myself
and I don't care what they say
and I don't care what they think they know
My live is not a window display
and I don't live in a fashion show
Don't you flaunt your wealth at me
and then offer to buy me a drink
Don't bother making conversation with me
Cause I don't wanna hear what you think
Just take a long hard look at yourself
can't you see you look exactly like everyone else
can you say on what day you became that way
or was it all too long ago?
I don't care what they say
and I don't care what little they think they know
My life is not for them to ok
I don't live in a fashion show.
