Ever since I was a little girl
They said, pretty baby, you could have the whole world
You'll grow up to be a beauty and every man's dream
But I wanted so much more
Than just waiting on a man to open the door
Don't you know by now there's so much more to me?

I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Maybe we should call it quits
You don't like women who talk like this
I'm a real sharp shooter and I don't see no reason to change
So now you've fallen for a pretty face
But I'm not some woman you can keep in her place
You wanna be my man, you better listen when I say

I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

To all of you cowboys
Whistling at all the pretty ladies
What makes you think we can't buy our own drinks
And that every queen is waiting on a king?

I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know
I'm not a poster on the wall, I'm not a porcelain doll
I think it's funny how you think you run the show
Don't try to tell me how to be, I'm not some puppet on a string
And if I wanted your opinion, you would know

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I wanted your opinion, you would know
