(talking)   I cant even believe we're having this conversation again...oh my god.   Here's the thing   I need you to stop treatin me as if i'm simple or naive.   As if i dont know nothing bout the world.   I understand you think you protecting me,    but I could use a little room to breathe   and the re-spect you give a woman not a girl..   Here's the thing   I appreciate all the love   the constant catering kisses and hugs   but lately im 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 x2)   If you want to cradle me like a little girl   and lock me down   im not your possession   Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll   (repeat)   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 dont mind the clothes   I love a nice dress with some open toes   But a trophy im not, So baby think again..   (Hey) and Here's the thing   You always wanna hold my hand   and say things to me like im 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 a man for sure, but baby im grown too..   Hey Hey      (chorus repeat x2)      If you want to cradle me like a little girl   and lock me down   im not your possession   Im a full grown woman    I am not your porcelain dollIf you want to cradle me like a little girl   and lock me down   im not your possession   Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll   (Hook) said you gotta respect me totally   otherwise im goin up and leave   and baby I know you dont 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 when I leave move back..      (Chorus repeat x2)      If you want to cradle me like a little girl   and lock me down   im not your possession   Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll      im a full grown woman i am not your porcelain doll   one more time   im a full grown woman i am not your porcelain doll
