The Body Song
I wasn't born free
But I gotta nice body
I gotta nice body
And I see them look at me
My mama told me
I gotta take care of my body
So a man will love me
But she didn't teach me how to love me
I wasn't born free
But I gotta nice body
I gotta nice body
And I'll use it to get what I want
My mama told me
I gotta take care of my body
So a man will love me
But she didn't teach me how to love me
And my Daddy
He warned me
He warned me
He warned me
He warned me
He said
"Baby girl don't be too free with your body"
That boys will be boys
And try to take advantage of me
And his words still haunt me
His words still haunt me
The boys they told me
"Hey you with the body
Come here and show me!"
But they never saw me
As a woman for loving
Just a nice body
And that is all I'll ever be
So come and take every piece of me
Now check it
Don't you know
Your body is more important than your personality
There's nothing more attractive than your dissipated sexuality
The boys they love to serve it up with a misogynistic brutality
If everybody's doing it then you don't you question my morality
I've got a nice body
I have to show everybody
That I gotta nice body
Imma show
Imma show
Imma show it to everybody
That I got a nice body
I have to show everybody
I gotta nice body
I wasn't born free
But I gotta nice body
I gotta nice body
And I'll use it to get what I want
Mama told me
I gotta take care of my body
So a man will love me
But I gotta nice body
I gotta nice body
And I see them look at me
My mama told me
I gotta take care of my body
So a man will love me
But she didn't teach me how to love me
I wasn't born free
But I gotta nice body
I gotta nice body
And I'll use it to get what I want
My mama told me
I gotta take care of my body
So a man will love me
But she didn't teach me how to love me
And my Daddy
He warned me
He warned me
He warned me
He warned me
He said
"Baby girl don't be too free with your body"
That boys will be boys
And try to take advantage of me
And his words still haunt me
His words still haunt me
The boys they told me
"Hey you with the body
Come here and show me!"
But they never saw me
As a woman for loving
Just a nice body
And that is all I'll ever be
So come and take every piece of me
Now check it
Don't you know
Your body is more important than your personality
There's nothing more attractive than your dissipated sexuality
The boys they love to serve it up with a misogynistic brutality
If everybody's doing it then you don't you question my morality
I've got a nice body
I have to show everybody
That I gotta nice body
Imma show
Imma show
Imma show it to everybody
That I got a nice body
I have to show everybody
I gotta nice body
I wasn't born free
But I gotta nice body
I gotta nice body
And I'll use it to get what I want
Mama told me
I gotta take care of my body
So a man will love me
