  • Cheeks are rosy like a Boucher cherub
    I'm a strawberry soda, raise my lashes to heaven
    Stars in my hair running like a waterfall
    Clouds in the whites of our eyes, we saw it all
    Burnt me at the stake, you thought I was a witch
    Centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch

    Mother nature's dying, nobody's keepin' score
    I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
    I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
    Anymore

    Marilyn's bungalow, it's number seven
    In the pink palace where men made her legend
    Owned by a sheik who killed thousands of gay men
    I guess that's why he bought the campest hotel in LA then

    Mother nature's dying, nobody's keepin' score
    I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
    I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore

    If you have a mother
    Daughter or a friend
    Maybe it is time
    Time you comprehend
    The world that you live in
    Ain't the same one as them
    So don't punish me
    For not bein' a man

    Spring appears when the time is right
    Women are violets coming to light
    Don't underestimate the makin' of life
    The planet has a funny way of stoppin' a fight

    Mother nature's dying, nobody's keepin' score
    I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
    I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore

    If you have a mother
    Daughter or a friend
    Maybe it is time
    Time you comprehend
    The world that you live in
    Ain't the same one as them
    So don't punish me
    'Cause I'm not a man
    So don't punish me
    'Cause I'm not a man
    'Cause I'm not a man Writer/s: Marina Lambri Diamandis
