You sit to smoke away your soul
And say I think of you so low
You can’t get any higher, baby
You say you’ll come to my defence
Your double standard is evident
Go say I’m a liar, baby
Walk into a room with me
Just watch the space and feel the degree
It’s the harmless jokes that cut so deep
But you don’t think twice when you’re with me
You kiss your mother with that mouth
You wanna make out on the couch?
I sit, legs crossed and quiet, baby
You think I have no right to say
I think you’re full of shit, okay?
I’ll sit in your silence, baby
Walk into a room with me
Be in my shoes and feel the degree
It’s the harmless men who think they know
But they’ll chew you up to take you home
I’m just a fantasy
Just someone to touch whenever you please
And the sum of my parts are lost to me
But you’re the man, so make me see
You wanna say that I don’t know how it feels
God, I wish I didn’t, take a minute
Your defence puts me in a hospital bed
Walk into a room with me
Be in my shoes and feel the degree
Feel the degree, feel the degree, yeah
Walk into a room with me
Be in my shoes and feel the degree
It’s the harmless men who think they know
But they’ll chew you up to take you home
Walk into a room with me
Be in my shoes and feel the degree
Feel the degree, feel the degree, yeah
(Actually forget it babe)
(Why would you care what a man thinks of you?)
(Honestly, you’re so much better than that)
(Don’t give a shit about what he says)
(There’s this expectation that we have to be)
(And act a certain way for us to be wanted, but that’s just not true)
Feel the degree
(They just need to wise up)
Feel the degree
(We’re not perfect, how cool is that?)
