Time keeps slippin´ away, slippin´ away Same routine settles in next Friday TV news interviews sayin´, "She´s loose" Police officer asks, "What she´s wearin´?" And I´m tired of the world perceivin´ me
And I´m tired of girls sayin´ Something here´s gotta change, it´s gotta change We keep playin´ the same blame game Do you think callin´ names makes me feel safe? "You look prettiest when you smile, babe" But I don´t want to smile for anyone And I´ll be caught dead sayin´
Guess it´s my fault my body´s fun to stare at Sorry my clothes can´t keep your hands from grabbin´ Yeah, it´s my problem, I´m askin´ for it Guess you´re the victim and I´m the suspect S-s-suspect
Posters and TV Tell me my body is for others´ satisfaction Get a sexual reaction
We´re taught we´re only meant to act holy Cover up your shoulders or you might tempt somebody Girls run home at night When we´re leavin´ from the party ´Cause we´re raised to trust nobody And it´s not right to make excuses Teach them why they shouldn´t do this Instead of telling us to hide, hide
But I guess it´s my fault my body´s fun to stare at Sorry my clothes can´t keep your hands from grabbin´ Yeah, it´s my problem, I´m askin´ for it Guess you´re the victim and I´m the suspect Yeah, it´s my fault my body´s fun to stare at Sorry my clothes can´t keep your hands from grabbin´
Yeah, it´s my problem, I´m askin´ for it Guess you´re the victim and I´ll ignore it
