[Em] Do you know me?
Really know me? [Am]
You have opinions [Em] about my opinions
[Am] About my music
About my clothes [Em]
About my body
Some people [Am] hate what I wear
Some people praise it
Some people [Em] use it to shame others
Some people use it to shame me
But I [Am] feel you watching
Always
And [Em] nothing I do goes unseen
So while I feel your stares, your disapproval [Am] or your sigh of relief
If I lived by them, I'd never be able to move
[Em] Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller?
Would you [Am] like me to be quiet?
Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest?
[Em] Am I my stomach? My hips?
The body I was born with
[Am] Is it not what you wanted?
If I wear what is comfortable, [Em] I am not a woman
If I shed the layers,[Am] I'm a slut
Though you've never seen my body, you [Em] still judge it
And judge me for it
Why? [Am]
We make assumptions about people based on their size
We de[Em] cide who they are
We decide what they're worth
If I wear more, [Am] if I wear less
Who decides what that makes me, what that means?
Is my [Em] value based only on your perception?
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
