Who says you gotta cross your legs

Who says you gotta shave ‘em

Who says you better not count your eggs

Who says you can’t just break ‘em

Who says you gotta find a man

And then treat him like only a woman can

All I know it’s more than I can stand

In these high heeled shoes

And all my life I’ve been told

To be a good girl, it’s what I’ve bought and sold

Well I say hell no to twice the work and half the pay

I say hell no, it’s time I get my own damn say

So come on ladies, makeup the plan

And lipstick it to the man

And say hell no and yes we can

Who says you gotta be the vixen

And the live-in maid

Makin’ dinner with all the fixings

As we diet until we fade

Over the hill by 32

Buying wrinkle creams that promise you

Those laughing lines will never do

As we smile on through the rage

All my life I’ve been told

To be a good girl, it’s what I’ve bought and sold

Well I say hell no to twice the work and half the pay

I say hell no, it’s time I get my own damn say

So come on ladies, makeup the plan

And lipstick it to the man

And say hell no and yes we can

All these expectations, aspirations that no woman can hold

Fingernails and hair extensions there’s no limits to the lengths we go

Well I say hell no to twice the work and half the pay

I say hell no, it’s time we get our own damn say

So come on ladies, makeup the plan

And lipstick it to the man

And say hell no and yes we can

We’ll say hell no and yes we can
