[Verse 1] Don't look at me like that Like what Like you already know who I am You haven't got a clue Red mouth, black silk, perfume on the stairs I know which side of me looks best under there Give you a smile, give you something to chase Give you the version that photographs like grace I got a hundred little tricks in the light Know how to make a bad girl look right You say I'm beautiful, I say I know But there's a locked room you don't get to go [Chorus] If I take the lipstick off If I let the silence stay I'll tell you what I really want Will you love me anyway? Put the camera down, look me in the eyes Love me when the magic and the makeup die Want me when I'm difficult, want me when I'm wrong Not just when I make you feel like somebody strong You can touch my body, but you can't own my yes I don't owe you heaven just because I'm in this dress Put the camera down, let the real thing start If you want the woman, darling, want her heart [Verse 2] Sometimes I want you, sometimes I want space Sometimes I want your hands, sometimes I need a break Sometimes a fantasy is all that I can bear Sometimes I want to disappear and leave it hanging there I've played along when I wanted to go home Made a little yes out of a feeling called no Not anymore, I'm not for your applause I'm not a pretty little person, no particular law [Chorus] If I take the lipstick off If I let the silence stay I'll tell you what I really want Will you love me anyway? Put the camera down, look me in the eyes Love me when the magic and the makeup die Want me when I'm difficult, want me when I'm wrong Not just when I make you feel like somebody strong You can touch my body, but you can't own my yes I don't owe you heaven just because I'm in this dress Put the camera down, let the real thing start If you want the woman, darling, want her heart [Bridge] Here's the thing I never say When the room is full of eyes I can handle being hated, I can make a scene and survive But if you see me without the costume, without the clever little lines And you leave, because I'm human Well, that's a different kind of goodbye So ask me what I want [Chorus] And listen to the answer Put the camera down, look me in the eyes Love me when the magic and the makeup die Want me when I'm difficult, want me when I'm wrong Not just when I make you feel like somebody strong You can touch my body, but you can't own my yes I don't owe you heaven just because I'm in this dress Put the camera down, let the real thing start If you want the woman, darling, want her heart [Outro] No filter No performance No encore You still here? Good And kiss me like you mean it
