Don’t Should On Me

Updated: Aug 17, 2023

Verse 1

From the moment that I wake up

Till the time I go to bed

There are ads to make me pretty

And it gets in my head


Verse 2

The ads say I should do this

To be pretty and thin

There is so much to do

I don’t know where to begin


Verse 3

My shows tell me I should eat that

it’s a scientific fact

If I eat real food

I’ll become too fat


Bridge

There are Beautiful people

living Beautiful lives

They flash across My screen

every day and every night


Chorus

Don’t tell me how to look

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t you dare should on me

And I won’t should on you


Verse 4

I can’t look in the mirror

Without noticing a flaw

I can’t let you take my picture

Without feeling mighty raw


Verse 5

The Botox and the fillers

The skin tight leather pants

They look up at me from every screen

Do I even have a chance


Chorus

Don’t tell me how to look

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t you dare should on me

And I won’t should on you


Verse 6

I throw down the magazine

I turn off the iPhone

I stop looking in the mirror

And know I’m not alone


Verse 7

I am wearing comfy PJs

pulled on mismatched socks

I’m heating up a pizza

I’m gonna eat the whole big box


Chorus

Don’t tell me how to look

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t you dare should on me

And I won’t should on you


Verse 8

I’ve got a Lifetime movie

And a bottle of wine

I know that I am beautiful

I don’t need to be defined


Chorus

Don’t tell me how to look

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t you dare should on me

And I won’t should on you


Outro

I won’t should on you
