Exotica
I am a bird of paradise
From an alien land
Always reminded I don't belong
When I was a girl I was taught to believe
I needed to bathe in bleach
To become the kind of woman you'd adore
Oh how I see me has changed as I've grown
Oh how I see me has changed
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am a person, with autonomy
Reduced to a fantasy
Bending to your will, in your mind, dehumanised
Oh how I see you has changed as I've grown
Oh how I see you has changed
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I want to be beautiful on my own terms
I want to be human and loved the same (Humanise me)
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
From an alien land
Always reminded I don't belong
When I was a girl I was taught to believe
I needed to bathe in bleach
To become the kind of woman you'd adore
Oh how I see me has changed as I've grown
Oh how I see me has changed
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am a person, with autonomy
Reduced to a fantasy
Bending to your will, in your mind, dehumanised
Oh how I see you has changed as I've grown
Oh how I see you has changed
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I want to be beautiful on my own terms
I want to be human and loved the same (Humanise me)
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
See me, see me for all that I am
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
I am not, I am not exotica
