Chrisette Michele - Porcelain Doll lyrics

[Talking:] I can't 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 don't 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 I'm 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 I'm not your possession I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll 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 don't mind the clothes I love a nice dress with some open toes But a trophy I'm not, So baby think again... (Hey) and Here's the thing You always wanna hold my hand And say things to me like I'm 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 I'm grown too... Hey Hey [Chorus: x2] If you want to cradle me like a little girl And lock me down I'm not your possession I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain dollIf you want to cradle me like a little girl And lock me down I'm not your possession I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll [Hook:] Said you gotta respect me totally Otherwise I'm goin up and leave And baby I know you don't 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 politely move back... [Chorus: x2] If you want to cradle me like a little girl And lock me down I'm not your possession I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll One more time I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
