a jazz ballad about the constant pressures of meeting societal expectations as a woman and how easily we can be made to feel inadequate or unfeminine because of this

🫶🏼

lyrics:

I'm not made of porcelain 
Remind me time and time again
If I let my hair grow out
I'm no longer feminine
Say the whispers on my skin

Oh, I'm a poor excuse for a woman
I'm not pretty when I cry
Who's to define me a woman?
I run deeper than the depths of your eye

Aphrodite told me 
She sculpted me from tears
How could the word of beauty
Grow through so much fear?

I'm no marble sculpture
Polished so smooth and neat
Ladylike slouches in her grave
Perfection lies through her teeth

Oh, I'm a poor excuse for a woman
I'm not pretty when I cry
Who's to define me a woman?
I run deeper than the depths of your eye

You can call me a woman
I won't be afraid to cry
Who's to define me a woman?
Every day I am divine

Leon Bridges, Lucky Daye - All About You (slowed + Reverb)

lyrics:
i think i’m a bad person
and i don’t know what to do
i always lie to you
that’s the only thing that’s true

and no, no one’s a perfect person 
but i swear i’m rotten fruit
forgotten at the root
now i’m bitter and i’m bruised

chorus:
if you knew me, you would probably say
she’s an angel who’s been led astray
she will love you, ask and you’ll receive
but she’ll steal back if you try to leave
you can’t trust me, i can’t trust myself
but i’m selfish, i don’t want no one else
don’t deserve you, not objectively
still i think that you could love me

i think you’re the best person
just because you said it first
my silly spiteful curse:
i don’t like you unless it’s reversed

now i think you’re the worst person
just cause you don’t love me back
turn your parting into attack
then say you’re the one who overreacts

chorus:
if you knew me, you would probably say
she’s angel who’s been led astray
she will love you, ask and you’ll receive
but she’ll steal back if you try to leave
you can’t trust me, i can’t trust myself
but i’m selfish, i don’t want no one else
don’t deserve you, not objectively
still i think that you could love me
