Absolutely Not
Deborah Cox

Always waiting for someone
To make me happy
Pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life
That ain't living
Less the child
Has got his own
It's my season now
I stand alone
Just thought that
I would let you know
Something new
Just can't control

Should I wear
My hair in a pony tail?
Should I dress
Myself up in channel?
Do I measure me
By what you think?
Absolutely not
Absolutely not

If I go to work
In a mini skirt
Am I givin' you
The right to flirt?
I won't compromise
My point of view
Absolutely not
Absolutely not

Told myself
I won't complain
But some things
Have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social
Push and shoves
Right or wrong
You judge the same
My picture never
Fit your frame
What you thought
You'll never know
You can't see me
Without my clothes

Should I wear
My hair in a pony tail?
Should I dress
Myself up in channel?
Do I measure me
By what you think?
Absolutely not
Absolutely not

If I go to work
In a mini skirt
Am I givin' you
The right to flirt?
I won't compromise
My point of view
Absolutely not

Now I see life
Means more to me
More than fancy clothes
More than you'll ever know
All the ugly words that
I've heard you say
Made me stronger every day
Now I live my life for me

If I go to work
In a mini skirt
Am I givin' you
The right to flirt?
I won't compromise
My point of view
Absolutely not
