"barbie&ken" lyrics

Two little girls, with their heads up in the clouds
Dreamin' like the rest
Didn't stick out from the crowd
But between themselves
They knew that they were different
But they pushed it down
Cause nobody would even listen

Their parents always saying
Girl when you grow up
You're gonna find a nice man
Make sure you're pretty enough
You'll be living a life like Barbie and Ken
C'mon suck it up and forget this nonsense

What if it's not Ken, but Barbie?
Why should she have to say sorry?
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'?

We can love who we want to
Don't say she's not supposed to
If it's not Ken, but Barbie
She doesn't have to say sorry

No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone

Hidin' how she feels
Sayin' things like Love ain't real
All just to conceal
That she's not society's ideal
Hearin' what they say
About those who feel the same way
She's really not okay
Tells herself it's just a phase

Her parents always sayin'
Girl when will you see
You don't know what you want
Trust us we know what you need
You'll be with your own Ken, oh so happily
It's no way to live; with another Barbie

But what if it's not Ken but Barbie?
Why should she have to say sorry?
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'?

We can love who we want to
Don't say she's not supposed to
If it's not Ken but Barbie
She doesn't have to say sorry

No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyo-o-one

No, no
She doesn't have to say sorry
No, no
She's never gonna say sorry

She never wanted Ken but Barbie
She never ever has to say sorry
And nobody is gonna listen
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'
We can love who we want to
Don't say she's not supposed to
It'll never be Ken but always Barbie
And she doesn't have to say sorry
To you
