I cant even believe we're having this conversation again...oh my god.
Here's the thing
I need you to stop treating me as if I'm simple or naive.
As if I don't know nothing bout the world.
I understand you think you protecting me, 
But I could use a little room to breathe
And the respect you give a woman not a girl,
Here's the thing
I appreciate all the love
The constant catering kisses and hugs
But lately I'm wondering what you do it for
If the reason you act all over sweet is 
Cause you want to keep me on a leash.
I have no choice but to show you the door.

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
And lock me down
I'm not your possession
I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll

Here's the thing you wanna put me in fancy clothes
And take me everywhere you go
And show me off to all your fancy friends
Well here's the thing
I really don't mind the clothes
I love a nice dress with some open toes
But a trophy I'm not, So baby think again
(Hey) and Here's the thing
You always wanna hold my hand
And say things to me like I'm the man 
So let me do what a man's suppose to do
Well here's the thing you can be the man all the while
Understanding I am not a child
You're the man for sure, but baby I'm grown too
Hey Hey

[Chorus: x2]

If you want to cradle me like a little girl
And lock me down
I'm not your possession
I'm a full grown woman 
I am not your porcelain doll
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
And lock me down
I'm not your possession
I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
(Hook) said you gotta respect me totally
Otherwise I'm going up and leave
And baby I know you don't want me to do that.
So you gotta respect me totally, so when I say back up off of me
Just kiss my cheek and politely move back

[Chorus: x2]

If you want to cradle me like a little girl
And lock me down
I'm not your possession
I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll

I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
One more time
I'm a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
