BETTY (for Boogie) - Jamila Woods

I am not your typical girl

Throw away that picture in your head

I am not your typical girl

Work harder, now, work harder

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Throw away that picture in your head

(I come undone)

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Work harder, now, work harder

(I come undone)

Work, work

Work, work

Oh, I’m different, I’m a cup of mild sauce

Sweet tongue, but don’t get me in a paper cut

I’ll fight you with my eyes, oh, when they call me shy

They just frightened of what’s in my mind (Mind)

These great-greats won’t let me lie

Midnight eyes wide feels like I’m at the riverside

Great greats come down, they whisper to me quiet

«I'm alive, I’m alive, I’m alive»

I am not your typical girl

Throw away that picture in your head

I am not your typical girl

Work harder, now, work harder

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Throw away that picture in your head

(I come undone)

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Work harder, now, work harder

(I come undone)

Work, work

Work, work

What is it with you independent men?

It’s always something

Threatening your masculine

Energy, you think it’s fleeting

Nothing you ain’t give to me

I can take away from you now

Let me be, I’m trying to fly, you

Insist on clipping my wings

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Throw away that picture in your head

(I come undone)

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Work harder, now, work harder

(I come undone)

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Throw away that picture in your head

(I come undone)

I am not your typical girl

(Running from myself)

Work harder, now, work harder

(I come undone)

Running from myself

I come undone

I wait, I try
