Sit Still, Look Pretty (Power)
Could dress up, to get love

Who's living in a Barbie world
Could wake up, in make up, and play dumb
Pretending that I need a boy
Who's gonna treat me like a toy

Who says you're not worth it

Don't want to lose your heart and also lose time
When he seduces you remember everything is a lie
