Consent Lyrics

My body is my body

From my head to my toes

My body is my body

Only I decide what is the go

My body is my body

Only I decide what is the go

My body is my body

Only I decide what is the go

If you want to hug, I can say no

Don't tickle me unless I have said so

It is my body and I have the power

To say yes, stop or no at any given hour

It's my body and I am the boss

If I say no don't get cross

I can say yes to what you are asking

But look at my face as I might be masking

That actually I really mean no

But finding the courage is hard to say so

And If i say yes I can change my mind

Come on everybody let's just be kind

My body is my body

From my head to my toes

My body is my body

Only I decide what is the go

If I am not sure to say yes or no

I will listen to my body as it will know

In my tummy, I might feel sick

Or my legs feel heavier than bricks

Maybe my heart is starting to race

Or I feel hot all over my face

This is my body saying no

Now I'll use my words to let people know

That my body is my body

From my head to my toes

My body is my body

Only I decide what is the go

But it can be super hard with our friends to say no

I can use other words to let them know

Like - i'll think about it, maybe later or is there something else we can do?

Remember consent involves more than one person, it takes two

Someone saying yes is not enough to proceed

If they aren't enthusiastic it's time to take heed

So stop look and listen when you ask

It's just being respectful it's not a painful task

And remember to have courage if you want to say no

People pleasing is toxic and not the go

Just remember

My body is my body

From my head to my toes

My body is my body

Only I decide what is the go
