Deborah Cox - Absolutely Not Lyrics

Always waitin' for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain't livin'

Bless the child that's got his own
It's my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let you know
Some things you just can't control

Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not

If I go to work in a mini-skirt
I givin' you the right to flirt?
I [bad word] my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not

Told myself I [bad word] But some things have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social push and shove

Right or wrong, you judge the same
My picture never fit your frame
What you thought, you'll never know
You can't see me with your mind closed

Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not

If I go to work in a mini-skirt
I givin' you the right to flirt?
I [bad word] my point of view
Absolutely not

Now I see, that life means more to me
More than fancy clothes, more than you'll ever know
All the ugly words that I heard you say
Made me stronger everyday
Now I live my life for me

Go to work in a mini-skirt
I givin' you the right to flirt?
I [bad word] my point of view
Absolutely, absolutely not

Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not

If I go to work in a mini-skirt
I givin' you the right to flirt?
I [bad word] my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not

Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in Chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not

All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
All my people say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh

All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
Everybody says
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
Absolutely not
