I guess i have to be a lady
Smiling and waving
Constantly obeying
I guess i need a prince
To come and save me
Even if i don’t need saving
I guess i must sit on a throne i don’t own
Raising the babies we made all alone
I guess as a lady there’s just some things i’ll never know
But if i were a man
I’d go to japan
Maybe swim in the seine
And learn to speak french
I’d have the whole world in the palm of my hand
I’d finally do what i could but i can’t
If i were a man
"eloise! I must tеll you something."
I guess i have to go to banquets
Banquets make me anxious
Acting rather shameless
I guess i need a gown
Down past my ankles
Doing up my hair in tangles
I guess i have to
"sit still and look pretty!
Dance 'til i'm proper dizzy!"
Throw away the life
That i've been missing
But if i were a man
I'd summer in can!
Maybe play in the sand
And wear my own pants!
I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand
I'd probably fly far away from the nest
If i were a man
There'll be no ladies and lords
Just the world to explore
And i don’t care if it’s all like a bore
No extravagant balls or gentlemen calls
And i don't give a rat if he's handsome and tall
I don't want to settle and squawk
I'll never leave unless for a delicate walk
Oh-oh-oh-oh
What if i, what if i want to fly?
But if i were a man
I’d go to japan
Maybe swim in the seine
And learn to speak french
I’d have the whole world in the palm of my hand
I’d finally do what i could but i can’t
If i were a man
If i were a man
I’d have the whole world in the palm of my hand
I’d finally do what i could but i can’t
If i were a man
