a
man's been with a few lovers
That's enough to bring him fame
But if a girl's been with two lovers
It's a crying dream,
I wanna know
Why is it, if I'm not satisfied with it,
I'm expected to hang around, still be down
Just to please the world
Don't end your hang -ups on me
Let me be
Don't end your hang -ups on me
Set me free
A guy can do whatever
An d society says, okay
But it takes a year and forever
For a girl to have her way
I wanna know when will we
Abolish mental slavery
Step away from the stereotype
Lose the hype
Give me a lot more vi be
Don't hang your hang -ups on me
Let me be
Don't hang your hang -ups on me
Set me free
How can we expect to be free
When I think 96 is a novelty
When something sacred
is treated with scorn
I wonder how you saints got to be born
I wanna know why
Is it if I'm not satisfied
With it I'm expected to hang around
Still be down
Just to please the crowd
Don't hang your hangups on me
Let me be
Don't hang your hang -ups on me
Set me free
If a man's been with a few lovers
That's enough to bring him fame
But if a girl's seen with two lovers
It's some cryin' shame I wanna know
Why is it if I'm not satisfied with it
I'm expected to hang around,
still be down
Just to please the crowd
Don't hang your hang -ups on me
Let me be
Don't hang your hang -ups on me
Set me free
A world can't do what the guys do
And still feel the way I am
But I'm gonna do what I want to
Even if it kills me
Cause how can we expect to be free
When I think like six is an all day
Something sacred is treated with scorn
I wonder how those saints
got to be born
Don't hang your hangups on me
Let me be
Don't hang your hangups on me
Set me free
Down in your hang of summer
Let me breathe
Down in your hang of summer
Set me free
