[Verse 1]
Always waitin' for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain't livin'
Bless the child that's got his own
It's my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let you know
Some things you just can't control
[Chorus]
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not
[Verse 2]
Told myself I won't complain
But some things have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social push and shove
Right or wrong; you judge the same
My picture never fit your frame
What you thought, you'll never know
You can't see me with your mind closed
[Chorus]
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not
[Bridge]
Now I see, life means more to me
More than fancy clothes
More than you'll ever know (More than you'll ever know)
All the ugly words that I heard you say
Made me stronger every day
Now I live my life for me, oh
[Chorus]
Go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely, Absolutely not
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel? (Oh, do I?)
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not
[Outro]
All my ladies say
Oh-ooh, whoa, oh-ooh
All my people say
Oh-ooh, whoa, oh-ooh
All my ladies say
Oh-ooh, whoa, oh-ooh
Everybody say
Oh-ooh, absolutely not (Oh-ooh)
Always waitin' for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain't livin'
Bless the child that's got his own
It's my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let you know
Some things you just can't control
[Chorus]
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not
[Verse 2]
Told myself I won't complain
But some things have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social push and shove
Right or wrong; you judge the same
My picture never fit your frame
What you thought, you'll never know
You can't see me with your mind closed
[Chorus]
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not

All my ladies say
Oh-ooh, whoa, oh-ooh

Oh-ooh, absolutely not (Oh-ooh)
