[Verse 1]
Being a woman shouldn't get in my way
I'm more than a body, I got something to say
And being a woman, I feel it every day
I wanna be more than objectified under your gaze
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna be comfortable in my skin, it starts within
Can't let the outside in
But all of these voices filled with judgement find their way
And I start to doubt again
[Chorus]
Complexion
The way that I look, way you see me becomes an obsession
Complexion
The pressure I put on myself just to make an impression
Complexion
The things that I say or I don't for my own protection
Complexion
All for thе views, things we do just to get somе attention
[Verse 2]
If I wasn't a woman would I feel the same?
Equally gifted, unequally shamed
Is it a system? Feels like I'll never escape
Or is it my own mind, a conflict, a complex that I create?
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna be comfortable in my skin, it starts within
Can't let the outside in
But all of these voices filled with judgement find their way
And I start to doubt again
[Chorus]
Complexion
The way that I look, way you see me becomes an obsession
Complexion
The pressure I put on myself just to make an impression
Complexion
Things that I say or I don't for my own protection
Complexion
All for the views, things we do just to get some attention
[Post-Chorus]
Just imagine what could happen without the pressure
Just image what we'd do, what we'd do
Self-expression, no second guessing, a call to action, oh
[Chorus]
Complexion
The way that I look, way you see me becomes an obsession
Complexion
The pressure I put on myself, yeah, myself
Complexion
It's the things that I say or I don't for my own protection
Complexion
Oh, complexion, mhm
[Post-Chorus]
Just imagine what could happen without the pressure
Just image what we'd do, what we'd do
Self-expression, no second guessing, a call to action
Just image what we'd do
