Showpiece Lyrics - Out Of Eden

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, oh 

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 

Oh, I don't need you to define my B-E-A-U-T-Y 

I'd rather draw the line 

Oh, I don't need you on my team, what you're selling's 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, size 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 

Oh, I don't need you to define my B-E-A-U-T-Y 

I'd rather draw the line 

Oh, I don't need you on my team, what you're selling's a pipe dream 

And I don't need it, baby 

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 

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 

Oh, I don't need you to define my B-E-A-U-T-Y 

I'd rather draw the line 

Oh, I don't need you on my team, what you're selling's a pipe dream 

And I don't need it, baby
