Elsie Shaw - Switchblade Woman Lyrics

Put on some cherry lipstick
Pretend you're not
Crying in the bathroom late at night
Don't throw away your mirror cause if you throw your mirror
It might break and cut your thighs
Why not just use your phone? It's got filters and it won't
Make you bleed, but the people might make you cry
Laugh it off
You don't need their opinion baby girl you're doing fine

You're a switchblade woman, you're a butterfly knife
The worlds a teenage boy who's learning to fight
Be careful 'bout who's handling you
Don't let yourself get banged up by some knock off needle
A fix up job the world says will give you help
You'll just hurt yourself

Don't bother eating breakfast. Instead devour
Mascara and cute crop tops
Pull your pants a little higher cause if your pants are higher
You might just impress the guys
Don't forget that no one likes you the way you are
So cover up your life and show the world your box of lies

You're a switchblade woman, you're a butterfly knife
The worlds a teenage boy who's learning to fight
Be careful 'bout who's handling you
Don't let yourself get banged up by some knock off needle
A fix up job the world says will give you help
You'll just hurt yourself

Smile a little bit wider
You never know who's watching
Put on some more eyeliner
It rubbed away 'cause you were crying
I don't know if that's blood on your hands
It'd make a good gloss so put it all on your lips
Go in for the kiss

'Cause you're a switchblade woman, you're a butterfly knife
The worlds a teenage boy who's learning to fight
Be careful 'bout who's handling you
Don't let yourself get banged up by some knock off needle
A fix up job the world says will give you help
You'll just hurt yourself
