nelly furtado - powerless (say what you want) [alternative acoustic mix] lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
paint my face in your magazines
make it look whiter than it seems
paint me over with your dreams
shove away my ethnicity
burn every notion that i
may have a flame inside to fight
is there just what is on my mind
without offending your might

[chorus]
’cause this life is too short
to live it just for you
but when you feel so powerless
what are you gonna do?
so say what you want, want
say, say

[verse 2]
i saw her face outside today
weatherworn, lookin’ all the rage
took her p-ssion and her gaze
and made a poster
now it’s moccasins we sport
we take the culture and contort
perhaps only to distort
what we are hidin’

[chorus]
oh, this life is too short
to live it just for you
but when you feel so powerless
what are you gonna do, do, do?
say what you want (say, say, say yeah)

[bridge]
hey you, the one the one outside, how are you gonna get in, get in?
hey you, the one the one outside
how are you gonna get in, get in?
hey you, the one that don’t fit in, yeah
hey you, the one that don’t fit in, yeah
hey you, the one that don’t fit in, yeah, yeah

[outro]
yeah, this life is too short
to live it just for you
but when you feel so powerless
what are you gonna do?
do
hey you, the one outside
hey you, the one outside
