Sex Appeal Lyrics

Once you apply the pressure
Things can't get any better
Take me for who I am
And not just for who you want me to be
Once you set expectations
There's just no way to face them
Take me for what I have
And not just for the things you wanna' see

I keep chasing echoes of what you said to me
Living in the shadows of all your broken dreams
If everything comes crashin' down I'll be the only one around
'Cause you can shatter your illusions but you can't shatter me
If I play my cards
Sex appeal, glitter, and heels
And maybe I'd be in the limelight
Roll my eyes, strum my guitar for you
Baby
I'd be your lady
But I'd rather die than live for a guy

Don't care what you think of me
Don't care if you hate or love me
Take me for who I am
But better yet, don't take me at all
Don't have time for distractions
Or awkward interactions
My offer as it stands
Is pick me up or I will let you fall

I keep chasing echoes of what you said to me
Living in the shadows of all your broken dreams
If it all comes crashin' down I'd be the only one around
'Cause you can shatter your illusions but you can't shatter me
If I play my cards
Sex appeal, glitter, and heels
And maybe I'd be in the limelight
Roll my eyes, strum my guitar for you
Baby
I'd be your lady
But I'd rather die than live for a guy
