"Written By A Man" lyrics

I was perfect like a paper doll
Let you pose me just how you want
I let you know me but without the flaws
And it was easy giving you the pen
So I don't see how the story ends
I'm your idol, you're my biggest fan

Turn me to a fantasy
Masquerades and make believe
Put me on a pedestal then pull it out from under me
Playing house then playing dead
That girl was only in your head
Imagining an audience, so I put on a show for them

Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man

You size me up with a single look
Say you read me like a picture book
And you believe it 'cause of course you would
You saw my beauty as something conventional
Playing the character so one dimensional
There's no exceptions, I can't be exceptional
Not a real person, I'm something conceptual

I'm your manic pixie dream
Learn your lesson then you leave
Put me on a pedestal then pulled it out from under me

Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
Woman written by a
Woman written by a man
