sometimes i shave my legs and sometimes i don’t

when i look in the mirror and the only one there is me
G F Em
every freckle on my face is where it’s supposed to be

and i know our creator didn’t make no mistakes on me
G F Em
my feet , my thighs , my lips , my eyes , i’m lovin’ what i see
( chorus )

verse 3 :
G F Em
Am i less of a lady if i don’t wear pantyhose?
G F Em
my mama said a lady ain’t what she wears but what she knows
G F Em
but , i’ve drawn a conclusion , it’s all an illusion , confusion’s the name of the game
G F Em
a misconception , a vast deception , something’s gotta change

verse 4 :
G F Em
but don’t be offended , this is all my opinion , ain’t nothing that i’m saying’ law
G F Em
this is a true confession of a life learned lesson i was sent here to share with y’all
G F Em
so get in where you fit in , go on and shine , clear your mind , now’s the time
G F Em
put your salt on the shelf , go on and love yourself , cuz everything’s gonna be all right
( chorus )

bridge :
G F Em
keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks , i don’t need that to have a good time
G F Em
keep your expensive car and your caviar , all i need is my guitar
G F Em
keep your kristal and your pistol , i’d rather have a pretty piece of crystal
G F Em
don’t need your silicone , i prefer my own , what god gave me is just fine
( chorus )
