Shirley Manson - Lighten Up lyrics

rate me

You say I should lighten up, loosen up and have some fun,

All the other girls are doing that,

You say I should just sell out, show a little skin, find a famous boyfriend,

I could clean up doing that.

I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing, thank you very much,

I'm marching on with my one-man band, and I'm beating myself up,

I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing, thank you very much,

I'm marching on with my one-man band, and I'm beating myself up.

But isn't it something to want someone,

And isn't it something to love someone,

And isn't it something to need someone,

With nothing to fall back on.

You say I should lighten up, loosen up and have some fun,

All the other girls are doing that,

You say I should just sell out, show a little skin, find a famous boyfriend,

I could clean up doing that.

I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing, thank you very much,

I'm marching on with my one-man band, and I'm beating myself up,

I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing, thank you very much,

I'm marching on with my one-man band, and I'm beating myself up.
