Double Standard Lyrics by Jayelle (Official)

2021

[Verse 1]
I'd be pretty if I was rich
I'd be lovely if I wasn't such a bitch
I'd be famous if I lost weight
I'd be blameless if I didn't put out on the first date

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Tell me what to say and what to do
What's in style, what's taboo
Treat me like an exhibition on display for you
Tell me what to wear and when to speak
What to think and when to eat
Everybody gets an opinion
Everyone but me

[Chorus]
They say meet your double standard
Go on raise the bar
Grin and bear it, use your manners
Go work twice as hard
The way you look, the way you dress
Better pass all of our tests
We've got the answers
Meet your double standard

[Verse 2]
I'm a prude and a shameless whore
I'm asking for it whenever you want to score
And I'd be a lady if I spoke with grace
And I'd be your baby if I held my tongue and learned my place

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what to show and cover up
What to feel and when to fuck
Everybody gets an opinion
But I should just shut up

[Chorus]
They say meet your double standard
Go on raise the bar
Grin and bear it, use your manners
Go work twice as hard
The way you look, the way you dress
Better pass all of our tests
We've got the answers
Meet your double standard

[Bridge]
I've been walking tightropes in these six inch heels
I've been playing dumb and playing up my sex appeal
I'm faking it so good you think you know what's real
Poker facing, calculating, waiting on my turn to deal

[Breakdown Chorus]
Don't wanna meet your double standard
Don't wanna play your game
Follow your rules or use my manners
I'm done being ashamed
If I get angry I deserve it
Lose my temper then it's worth it
Fuck your answers
Won't meet your double standard

[Chorus]
Meet your double standard
Go on raise the bar
Grin and bear it, use your manners
Go work twice as hard
The way you look, the way you dress
Better pass all of our tests
We've got the answers
Meet your double standard
Meet your double standard
Meet your double, meet your double
Meet your double standard
