More Than Material Lyrics - Timeless Journey - Patti Labelle

Don't get mad if I treat me 

To a day I only shop for me 

Don't get mad if I buy the clothes 

That you think are not the style for me 

Who I am is not what I wear 

And what I think has nothing to do with hair 

Love me by what my heart shows 

But it seems like you just can't let it go 

[Chorus:] 

You keep talking bout my clothes 

But the clothes don't make the woman 

You keep talking bout my hair 

But this hair can't give you lovin' 

(Only me) 

You keep talkin bout my shoes 

But my shoes don't make me money 

Now why you actin so hysterical 

I'm so much more than material 

Don't get mad if I treat me 

To a day of cosmotology 

Don't get mad if you see me 

Exploring different sides of me 

Deep inside of my outer shell 

There's only so much I'd show and tell 

Love me like the real girl you know 

But it seems that you just can't let it go 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge:] 

More than material 

More than the typical 

More than just a video 

A respectable 

And effectual, girl 

[Repeat] 

[Chorus]
