Hell No

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And all my life, I've been told
To be a good girl, it's what I've bought and sold

[Chorus]
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, make up the plan
And lipstick it to the man
And say "Hell no" and "Yes, we can"

[Verse 2]
Who says you gotta be the vixen and the live-in maid?
Making dinner with all the fixings as we diet until we fade
Over the hill by thirty-two
Buying wrinkle creams that promise you
Those laughing lines will never do
As we smile on through the rage

[Pre-Chorus]
All my life I've been told
To be a good girl
It's what I've bought and sold

[Chorus]
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, make up the plan
And lipstick it to the man
And say "Hell, no" and "Yes, we can"

[Bridge]
All these expectations, aspirations that no woman can hold
Fingernails and hair extensions, there's no limits to the lengths we go

[Chorus]
Well, I say "Hell, no"
To twice the work and half the pay
I say "Hell, no"
It's time we get my own damn say
So, come on, ladies, make up the plan
And lipstick it to the man
And say "Hell, no" and "Yes, we can"
And say "Hell, no" and "Yes, we can"
