lyrics

How come, no one takes me seriously?
I don’t know why, is it cause I’m so intimidating?
I’ve done everything to be pleasing artistically
I’m not, asking a lot, but why don’t people respect me
I can't figure it out!

When I was a little girl
Didn’t know what I wanted to be
An architect
Then the next day a chef
So many possibilities
But even back then I knew
A job where looks don’t matter the options are few
But a career was waiting
I won’t get judged for ageing
And people won’t criticise what I do….

So I became a
Female pop singer
That’s what I had in mind
A job where no one expects
You to sell sex
Or be an object of any kind

A female pop singer
Where the music is what it’s about
Nothing demeaning
Songs that have meaning
Not just drinking and going out

I look at some women out there
And I think to myself, it’s just not fair
Calling them pretty faces
In work places
When they’ve got so much more to share
Looks are only a game
And if it’s all that you seek it’ll drive you insane
I feel so bad
For women that have
To deal with that shit everyday

That’s why I’m a
Female Pop singer
I’m gonna make it someday
Cos no one’s obsessed
With how you look or dress
They just want to hear what you have to say

A female pop singer
I just can’t wait to get signed
With a record label who shares
Percentages fair
I mean it happens all the time

I’m so glad I found a job where looks don’t matter
And no one ever judges you if you get fa… smarter
No one cares about your weight
It won’t be front page news if it fluctuates
And that’s why when I’m done singing I’m gonna be…..

A female movie star
Where there’s never a shortage of work
And you can’t be too old
To play complex roles
I mean that would just be absurd!

A female movie star
I’m gonna be unstoppable
Cause nobody cares
If you’ve got grey hairs
Or if you’re still “fuckable”

How come, no one takes me seriouesly...
