Treat Me

(album: Utopian - 2023)

Why do they only hear me
When I say it so eloquently, say it softly
Who gets to tell me how I
Put clothes on, move in my, live in my body
Who's gonna stop me?

I'm not your mother
And you don't get my permission
If you feel like I'm talking to you
Listen

Don't treat me like that
Don't treat me like that
I'm not a person on a pedestal
Stuck in your head
What version of me do you see deserving respect?
Don't treat, don't treat me like

Do you only listen to women
If you have the chance of seeing them naked?
If you like the way I look
Would you listen to me closer?
Look closer

I'm not your mother
And you don't get my permission
If you feel like I'm talking to you
Listen

Don't treat me like that
Don't treat me like that
I'm not a person on a pedestal
Stuck in your head
What version of me do you see deserving respect?
Don't treat, don't treat me like that

I wanna walk alone when I go out tonight!
Not clutching on my keys and scared I'm gonna die!
Don't wanna overanalyze that dress I like!
When I go out tonight, when I go out tonight!

Don't treat me like that
Don't treat me like that
I'm not a person on a pedestal
Stuck in your head
What version of me do you see deserving respect?
Don't treat, don't treat me like that
Don't treat me like that, don't treat me like
Don't treat, don't treat me like
Don't treat, don't treat me like
Don't treat, don't treat me like that
