I'm a reactionary woman
Wearing it in my jiggle
Hidden in the cleavage
of my past
Misunderstood flow
Not recognized as 925 Sterling
If you'd shine on me just a little
I would never have to lower my eyes
Shrink inside
I'd climb a high wire with perfect balance
If you'd shine on me just a little
I'd read all the classics
Becoming my own intellectual property
Play Stravinsky
Sing "Nesun Dorma"
If you'd shine on me just a little
I'd never need a polishing cloth
