Sit Still, Look Pretty Lyrics
[00:06.23] Could dress up, to get love
[00:08.42] But guess what?
[00:10.23] I'm never gonna be that girl
[00:12.61] Who's living in a Barbie world
[00:16.04] Could wake up, and make up, and play dumb
[00:20.29] Pretending that I need a boy
[00:23.10] Who's gonna treat me like a toy
[00:26.38] I know the other girls wanna wear expensive things, like diamond rings
[00:30.88] But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string
[00:34.55] This queen don't need a king
[00:37.04] Oh, I don't know what you've been told
[00:39.49] But this girl right here's gonna rule the world
[00:42.04] Yeah, that's where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
[00:44.91] No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
[00:47.69] You get off on your 9 to 5
[00:49.95] Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
[00:52.52] But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
[00:55.52] No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty
[00:58.24]
[01:04.14] Mr. Right could be nice, for one night
[01:07.88] But then he wanna take control
[01:10.64] And I would rather fly solo
[01:14.18] That Snow White
[01:15.94] She did it right in her life
[01:18.34] Had 7 men to do the chores
[01:21.49] 'Cause that's not what a lady's for
[01:24.49] The only thing that a boy's gonna give a girl for free's captivity
[01:28.55] And I might love me some vanilla but I'm not that sugar sweet
[01:32.94] Call me HBIC
[01:35.21] Oh, I don't know what you've been told
[01:37.63] But this girl right here's gonna rule the world
[01:40.16] Yeah, that's where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be
[01:43.15] No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
