Текст Janelle Monáe – All Dolled Up

Текст:

First we’ll pluck a little here
Then we’ll tuck a little there
Then we’ll cut a little loose
And apply a little mousse

To what seems to be your hair
Then we’ll do a little tweeze
Then we’ll do a little more
Then we’ll wax and then we’ll bleach
Till you’re smoother than a peach
Or at least a little smoother
Than you were before

To me you look okay
But if you truly want me to
We’ll sculpt and mold
And change and fix you anyway

Hey, we’re getting all dolled up
Going with the flow, looking so appealing
Hey, ’cause when you’re all dolled up
No one has to know just how flawed you’re feeling
Hey, if you can hide what’s shining through
You’ll see a whole new you

So we’ll try a little mask
It’ll open up your pores
Then we’ll rub some lotion in
And we’ll soften up your skin
So it doesn’t look like yours
Then we’ll moisten up your lips
Buff your toenails to a T
And we’ll powder up your nose
Or in your case I suppose

We’ll just put a little powder
Where your nose should be

Hey, we’re getting all dolled up
Blending with the crowd like we know we’ve got to
Hey, ’cause when you’re all dolled up
That’s when you’re allowed to pretend you’re not you
Hey, once you conceal what’s real and true
You’ll see a whole new you

Everyone choose your weapons!

Step 1, find the trendiest of outfits
Step 2, pick the one that just about fits
Step 3, this is absolutely key
Choose it not for you but for who you wanna be
And then once you know which look you’re into
Say when, and I guess we can begin to squeeze
And stretch and stuff until we nail the whole display

Hey, we’re getting all dolled up
Feeling fresh and free and lookin’ oh so juicy
Hey, ’cause when you’re all dolled up
People only see what you want them to see
Hey, once who you are is hidden from view
You’ll be a whole new you
You’ll be a whole new you
You’ll be a whole new you

Yeah, we’re getting all dolled up
Gosh though how I wish that I didn’t need to
Sure, look at me all dolled up
Stuck playing a part someone else agreed to
Ooh, if I could choose who I could be
I’d choose a whole new me
I’d choose a whole new me
I’d choose a whole new me
