‘Now my mama’s preaching to make sure I’m pure, but I never really cared about that s*** before.’ She didn’t care about how she looked before, but now she does.
‘Feeling unsure of my naked body.’
‘Wondering why I don’t look like Barbie. They say boys like girls with a tiny waist.’
‘Gotta make sure that my legs are shiny, hot wax melting burn my skin.’
‘Everyone around me are watching closely, cause it’s how I look and not what I think.’
These are some examples of what types of insecurities girls have that Melanie has displayed in her song. In the chorus, the girls are blamed for dressing up and the boys can’t help being attracted to them. First society wants girls to look beautiful and in a certain way, and when they dress up nicely, it looks like they want boys to be coming for them or to have s** with them.
In the bridge, Melanie’s asking for society to just respect people and how they look. Always love your bodies no matter what gender you are!
Sorry for the long explanation, and if I got anything wrong.
