Yo, i don't appreciate you telling me
The way that i should live
No, i think the choices you've laid out for me
The end is negative

So, take all your imagery and ideology
Yes i'll be fine
When you go i'd rather not display my physical
I'd rather use my mind, oh

You act like all i am to be is, just a sexy, sexy thing
Just a showpiece for all to see like a bently or your diamond ring
I know that i am more than that, don't believe the hype
The one who made the stars and sun gave meaning to my life

Oh, i don't need you to define my b-e-a-u-t-y
I'd rather draw the line
Oh, i don't need you on my team, what you're selling's a pipe dream
And i don't need it, baby

Hey, it seems a shame to me i've been reduced
To an object of lust and hate
No way, please understand that i refuse to be
Simply a height and weight

This day, somewhere we've lost the value
Of what a woman is supposed to be
A queen, respected and defined by her creator
Size 24, size 10 or size 3

Oh, i don't need you to define my b-e-a-u-t-y
I'd rather draw the line
Oh, i don't need you on my team, what you're selling's a pipe dream
And i don't need it, baby

It's my choice and i will decide, i won't let you destroy my pride
I'm no showpiece for you to hide and lose all that i am inside
God made me and i'm beautiful, i won't dress like that kind of girl
R-e-s-p-e-c-t, see, that's the way that you got to look at me

Oh, i don't need you to define my b-e-a-u-t-y
I'd rather draw the line
Oh, i don't need you on my team, what you're selling's a pipe dream
And i don't need it, baby
