If I Were A Man

If I were a man
I’d never have to worry about distrust
From my lover
If I were a man
I’d date a faithful woman
There’s hundreds of them
If I were a man
I wouldn’t be so insecure
Because male models don’t show too much on these magazine covers

But I am a woman
And everything is sexualisied
I am a woman
And the media is full of lies
Her plastic body's natural
And hourglass is what it has to be
How can one compare
To these plastic sculptures around me

If I were a man
I’d never look at anyone
And think she’s more worthy of my boyfriend’s love
If I were a man
I could stroll down the street and
Not check my shoulders every minute
If I were a man
When I tell people what he did
they wouldn’t just say well “men will be men”

But I am a woman
And everything is sexualisied
I am a woman
And the media is full of lies
Her plastic body's natural
And hourglass is what it has to be
How can one compare
To these plastic sculptures around me
If I were a man
Maybe I’d be truly happy
Because as a gentle girl
In this world
There’s no safe place for me to be me

But I am a woman
And everything is sexualisied
I am a woman
And the media is full of lies
Her plastic body's natural
And hourglass is what it has to be
How can one compare
To these plastic sculptures around me
