(Ladylike that, ladylike this, ladylike that) (Ladylike that, ladylike this, ladylike) Dear diary I’m sick of searching All I ever had were Soft-spoken manipulators Dear diary I met this guy He really did seem genuine, but Whoever got my attention can’t be right Classic ‘Don’t smoke, drink less’ ‘Don’t be off the rails’ ‘Smile more, talk soft with a higher voice’ ‘Can you, just for a second, be more like a girl?’ (What?) You know from the start, I’m wild and crazy I never even tried to hide my nature So, if you want to change parts of me You should leave I wasn’t telling you to come back I was telling you to fuck off and leave me alone ‘Don’t be so out of control, all that emotional’ I’m fighting wars you can’t understand I didn’t come this far to be small again ‘Can’t you be more ladylike?’ But I’m a lady like that Dear diary I’ve tasted men and tasted love The sweet and bitter And I highly recommend alcohol Dear diary The audacity to speak and look down to me You seem like a man But no more than a boy ‘Keep it down, stay low’ ‘Don’t draw attention’ Am I embarrassing myself? Or, is it you who can’t stand the spotlight on me? You said you like the gentle, soft kind of women Cuddles and kisses and waiting by the phone So, let me whisper this in your ears I wasn’t telling you to come back I was telling you to fuck off and leave me alone ‘Don’t be so out of control, all that emotional’ I’m fighting wars you can’t understand I didn’t come this far to be small again ‘Can’t you be more ladylike?’ But I’m a lady like that (Ladylike that, ladylike this, ladylike that) (Be more like a girl) (Ladylike that, ladylike this, ladylike) (Be more like a girl) (Ladylike that, ladylike this, ladylike that) Dear diary What the hell? My friends are having babies How am I still in episode 22? Dear diary All the patriarchy Saying this and that ‘Can’t you be more ladylike?’ But I’m a lady like that
