Be A Lady

Once used to describe only women of a high social class or status

The word lady is a term of respect for a girl or woman

The female equivalent of lord, may now refer to any woman

A woman who is refined, polite, well-spoken

A woman of high social position or economic class

A man's wife, a female lover, or sweetheart

Yet sometimes euphemistic or a little condescending

Be a lady. Wear a dress. Love a man

Be a lady. Wear a dress. Love a man

Be a lady. Wear a dress. Love a man

Be as "pretty as a princess"

Be a lady. Wear a dress. Love a man

Mistress Mary, quite contrary, How did her garden grow?

Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after

Jill was then forgotten

And is quite probably still tumbling down that hill

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe

She had so many children she did not know what to do

We gave her shit for not providing

But didn't see the cracks she's fallen through

Be a lady. Wear a dress. Love a man

With the perfect waist-to-hip ratio. Your looks will get you far

Hold us up to the beauty standards Installed in us from age three

Which Disney princess do you see in me?

It's not ladylike

Don't sit like that

Cross your legs

Act more like women

Don't sit like that

You want to be appealing

Stand taller

Don't speak up

It's not ladylike

Be nice

Smile

Cover up

Speak when you're spoken to

Don't swear

Don't be a loudmouth

Confine yourself

Don't get drunk

Confine yourself

Behave

Don't raise your voice

Sit straight

Deflect your eyes

Never say your mind

For god's sake dress properly
