about

Featuring conversation between Amy Nostbakkan, Norah Sadava and Mar Meredith

lyrics

He says, hey, hey beautiful
And I beg, tell me something I don’t already know
Cause he’s looking at me like I’m something he’d like to collect
And he’s looking at me like I ought to be flattered by it
Funny a compliment sounds so much like a threat
When its implying your eyes are the best way my worth is assessed

I didn’t ask for your opinion
So why’re you yelling in the street?
I didn’t ask for your opinion
I’m not a piece of meat for your eyes to feast on
Deep down we can both agree
You’ll never get to feel the love of a woman like me
You keep on going home lonely

He said ‘smile baby’
and I thought maybe
I could just be left alone
To feel what I want to feel
To look how I want to look
To say what I want to say
To scowl if I feel that way

I didn’t ask for your opinion
So why’re you yelling in the street?
I didn’t ask for your opinion
I’m not a piece of meat for your eyes to feast on
Deep down we can both agree
You’ll never get to feel the love of a woman like me
You’ll keep on going home lonely

I’m tired of faking it
I’m tired of taking it
You left no room so now I’m making it
Cause I’m tired of faking it
And I’m tired of taking it
You left no room so now I’m making it
Cause I’m tired of faking it
Cause I’m tired of…
