Those who don't listen
Will feel
Men are men
And money is evil
Slow your role little girl
Flesh is weak
And your body's a temple
I should've listened to her
Respect your elders
One day you'll be one
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say
And not as I do
Soon
You'll have corns on your feet
And dents in your spirit
Singing life just ain't easy
For women
And if you can't take the heat
Then get out the kitchen
And keep your nose out of big people's business
Big people's business
I couldn't wait to be grown
To stick my feet in a pair of stilettos
So tell me how am I 24
24 feeling smaller than ever
Smaller than ever
Lay down with dogs
Get fleas
And don't forget your thank you's
And please's
Do as I say
Not as I do
Do as I say
And not as I do
Cause soon
You'll have corns on your feet
And dents in your spirit
Singing life just ain't easy
For women
And if you can't take the heat
Then get out the kitchen
And keep your nose out of big people's business
Big people's business
Now I'm cooking up my own drama
Next to a pot of bad karma
Does this mean I'm growing up?
I don't wanna grow up
Looking my like my ol' mother
Crying tears for love
Does this mean I'm growing up?
I don't wanna!
To have corns on your feet
And dents in your spirit
Singing life just ain't easy
For women
And if you can't take the heat
Then get out the kitchen
And keep your nose out of big people's business
Big people's business
