Song Lyrics

"Show Piece"

by Out of Eden
Album: This is Your Life

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

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

Ohhh, I don't need you to define my b-e-a-u-t-y
I'd rather draw the line
Ohhh, I don't need you on my team,
what you've selling is 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, 10, or size 3

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

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
