From the recording LP13 EMPOWERMENT
An ironic retro disco song
Lyrics
Traditional Woman
[Verse 1]
Long nails, can’t lift a thing,
Selfie queen, I’m glittering.
Mirror’s my 9-to-5,
Living on likes to feel alive.
[Pre-Chorus]
I can cook, I can pose,
Strike a smile, strike a rose.
Don’t need books, don’t need fight,
I’m rehearsing my pout tonight.
[Chorus]
I’m a traditional woman (oh-oh!),
Doing nothing but shining bright.
I’m a traditional woman (oh-oh!),
Dance all day and pose all night.
Children, diamonds, love on demand,
Admire me, baby, and hold my hand.
[Verse 2]
Languages? No, too much stress,
But I can rock this little dress.
Time to waste, I waste in style,
Crown of nothing, queen of denial.
[Pre-Chorus]
I can cook, I can please,
Chain of love in recipes.
Don’t need work, don’t need school,
Jealousy’s my golden rule.
[Chorus]
I’m a traditional woman (oh-oh!),
Doing nothing but shining bright.
I’m a traditional woman (oh-oh!),
Dance all day and pose all night.
Children, diamonds, love on demand,
Admire me, baby, and hold my hand.
[Bridge : Breakdown with clap track + bass]
Looks fade, the shine runs thin,
No career to settle in.
Getting older, losing heat,
Just a broken record on repeat.
[Chorus – Big, glittery, final]
I’m a traditional woman (oh-oh!),
Doing nothing but shining bright.
I’m a traditional woman (oh-oh!),
Dance all day and pose all night.
Children, diamonds, love on demand,
Admire me, baby, and hold my hand.
[Outro : Fading with synths]
Traditional, traditional,
Oh-oh-oh, so conditional…
Traditional, traditional,
Oh-oh-oh, so conditional…
