Bm7
   Do you know me?
Amaj7
     Really know me?
Bm7                        Amaj7
    You have opinions about my opinions
          Bm7
About my music

About my clothes
Amaj7
   About my body
                        Bm7
Some people hate what I wear

Some people praise it
                      Amaj7
Some people use it to shame others

Some people use it to shame me
      Bm7
But I feel you watching

Always
                      Amaj7
And nothing I do goes unseen
                                                      Bm7
So while I feel your stares, your disapproval or your sigh of relief

If I lived by them, I'd never be able to move
              Amaj7
Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller?
                         Bm7
Would you like me to be quiet?

Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest?
  Bm7
Am I my stomach? My hips?

The body I was born with
Bm7
Is it not what you wanted?
                             Amaj7
If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman
                    Bm7
If I shed the layers, I'm a slut
                                            Amaj7
Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it

And judge me for it

Why?
Bm7
   We make assumptions about people based on their size
         Amaj7
We decide who they are

We decide what they're worth
              Bm7
If I wear more, if I wear less

Who decides what that makes me, what that means?
            Amaj7
Is my value based only on your perception?
                         N.C.
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
