DOUBLE STANDARDS Lyrics

What happened to the men? Why are good ones hard to find

Only wants me for my body Seems like no one can provide

I don't want to be the one to try and fix him from his ex

They never show emotion, how am I supposed to connect

Then want a porn star chef and maid, they ain't looking for a spouse

I work 40 hour weeks, to come home and clean the house

I want to be a wife, I don't want to be his mom

Leaves his clothes right by the basket, I swear all men are is slobs

Their identity's their job, if they even work at all

You either get a clinger or a one who's completely uninvolved

They think asking if we want to do it is the way to turn us on

But I would give it to him more if he connected with my mind

Try to tell him how I feel, they get defensive or shut down

Never seems like they can hear me, so of course I'm getting loud

Always drinking with the boys, but we can't go out with the girls

I want a man's love, but I want peace, not double standards

I just wanna keep this going strong

No one's gonna leave what's going wrong

Show me little symbols of your love

Meet me in the middle, baby, I don't need much

A couple billion women, but a good one's hard to find

They got all these expectations, is it really worth my time

I gotta look a certain way, I gotta reach a certain height

And it's a red flag if I'm jealous, if she still follow dudes she used to like

Gotta make a lot of money, but don't work too much

If I'm not rich, then I'm a bum

But if I'm working all the time, she feel like I'm not around

They just want a man with money, so they ain't gotta have a job

They think all men want is sex

But the scientists have proven that that's how we connect

And before they get with you, then they want you all the time

But then to get away, they use their body as a bribe

They beg for us to let them in and share the things that make us insecure

Then they get mad and throw it back to make us hurt

We can't go out with the boys, but they have brunch with all the girls

I yearn for a woman's love, but I want peace, not double standards

I just wanna keep things going strong

Women can't believe what's going wrong

Show me little symbols of your love

Meet me in the middle, baby, I don't need much

I just wanna keep things going strong

Show me little symbols of your love

Meet me in the middle, baby, I don't need much
