"Porcelain Doll"

(talking)I cant even believe we're having this conversation again...oh my god.
Here's the thing
I need you to stop treatin me as if i'm simple or naive.
As if i dont know nothing bout the world.
I understand you think you protecting me, but I could use a little room to breathe
and the re-spect you give a woman not a girl..
Here's the thing
I appreciate all the love
the constant catering kisses and hugs
but lately im wondering what you do it for
If the reason you act all over sweet is cause you want to keep me on a leash.
I have no choice but to show you the door.
(Chorus x2)
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
(repeat)
Here's the thing you wanna put me in fancy clothes
and take me everywhere you go
and show me off to all your fancy friends...
Well here's the thing
I really dont mind the clothes
I love a nice dress with some open toes
But a trophy im not, So baby think again..
(Hey) and Here's the thing
You always wanna hold my hand
and say things to me like im the man So let me do what a man's suppose to do
Well here's the thing you can be the man all the while
understanding i am not a child
You're a man for sure, but baby im grown too..
Hey Hey
(chorus repeat x2)
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain dollIf you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
(Hook) said you gotta respect me totally
otherwise im goin up and leave
and baby I know you dont want me to do that.
So you gotta respect me totally, so when I say back up off of me
just kiss my cheek and when I leave move back..
(Chorus repeat x2)
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll

im a full grown woman i am not your porcelain doll
one more time
im a full grown woman i am not your porcelain doll
