Please don’t think me civilized
Please don’t leave me patronized
Please don’t think I’ll compromise
I’m not your baby girl

Please don’t try to analyze me
You can’t help but fantasize
But I won’t buy your sack of lies
I’m not your baby girl

I’m a woman on the run
I have so much to be done
Purpose is my number one
I’m not your baby girl

Don’t tell me I’m out of line
I can’t mend your broken mind
But watch me break your paradigm
I’m not your baby girl

You can’t see me
You couldn’t if you tried
You’re luck if you catch a shadow of my backside.

are you a catcher of the song
or do you hold your heroes far too long
are you a helpless little man
or is the a fire in your hand

well the flame don’t cast a shadow when it burns
and the shame don’t pass for shallow when it churns
and you make the heart hallowed when you learn

you wanna shine brighter
if you wanna shine brighter
you’re gonna have to burn in the fire
if you wanna climb higher
you’re gonna have to burn in the fire

how many secrets can you hold
before you know your story must be told
are you a tired little girl
or have you yet to light the world

well the earth don’t feel the tremble when it turns
but the ash might turn to ember when it yearns
you can carry what you kindle when you learn

so if you wanna shine brighter
you’re gonna have to burn in the fire
if you wanna climb higher
you’re gonna have to burn in the fire
