  • Okay, okay
    Yeah

    Think my paradise is tabloids and flashing lights
    Truth is, it's more like loads of cash
    And a nice guy and a life lived right (I know that)

    There's just some things that they don't tell you, tell you (no)
    And all the dreams they try to sell you, sell you (yeah)
    The price of fame can take you to your knees (oh)
    And when it does, wanna run away with me? (Yeah)

    I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife
    You, you, you, y-you could be the one I'm calling honey
    Be my sex on the side
    You, you, you, you
    Acres of open stars, headlights of precious cars, life imitating art
    I, I, I, I, I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife
    Be my, be my

    Drive fast, take me out of here
    Louis out the window and the 310 in the mirror
    Life's great when you disappear
    Rockies took the girl, but the city took the golden years

    This industry will try to kill you, kill you
    But not before they try to bill you, bill you
    They try to take away your wild and free
    And when they do, wanna run away with me?

    I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife
    You, you, you, y-you could be the one I'm calling honey
    Be my sex on the side
    You, you, you, you
    Acres of open stars, headlights of precious cars, life imitating art
    I, I, I, I, I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife
    Be my, be my

    Go into my garden, pick the money off the tree
    I don't pay for nothing, baby, people pay me
    And you right beside me's just the icing on the dream
    I don't need you, I want you, and that's my favorite thing
    Go into my garden, pick the money off the tree
    I don't date nobody, baby, people date me
    And you right beside me's just the icing on the dream
    I don't need you, I want you, and that's my favorite thing

    I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife
    You, you, you, y-you could be the one I'm calling honey
    Be my sex on the side
    You, you, you, you
    Acres of open stars, headlights of precious cars, life imitating art
    I, I, I, I, I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife
    Be my, be my Writer/s: Grant Boutin, Jasper Harris, Julia Michaels, Pablo Diaz-Reixa, Ryan Tedder, Tate McRae

  • Tate Mcrae Sucks from CanadaThe problem with framing Tate McRae’s “Housewife” era as empowerment is that it seems to blur the line between female autonomy and the commercial exploitation of sexuality. There’s nothing inherently empowering about sexual expression simply because it’s presented as confidence or independence. When sex appeal becomes a central selling point, it’s fair to question whether the message is genuinely about empowerment or just another marketing strategy designed to capitalize on it. Musically, I also think her work is fairly mediocre, and much of her success seems inseparable from the machinery behind her brand. Without that level of industry backing and carefully constructed image, I’m not convinced she’d command nearly as much attention.
