lyrics
Pedestal
music &lyrics by Jason Gill
Well I've been called a lot of things,
Been criticized, been demeaned, ooh yeah,
People try to tell me, "Jay, this is how it should be”,
(That’s just the way it is man)
I've played the fool so many times,
I wear my heart on my sleeve, ooh baby,
I've been hurt, my love denied,
People say I'm naive,
(Hey, I’m just trying to help you out)
They say in the battle of the sexes,
My friend you are unarmed,
They say chivalry is dead,
Try "game" instead,
Don't waste your time with charm,
Pussy on a pedestal,
That's where it belongs,
If you can't treat your lover right,
Send her here to my arms,
Pussy on a pedestal,
That's where it belongs,
If you can't treat your lover right,
Send her here to my arms,
Ooh!
Now I know love can cause you pain,
Believe me it's made me weep,
Trust that I know the price you pay,
A broken heart don't come cheap,
Still there's no need to play these games,
Aloof & cool, hip & sleek,
‘Cause all she's lookin' for's to love ya unconditionally,
(Well, there you go with that naive stuff)
They say in the battle of the sexes,
My friend you are unarmed,
They say chivalry is dead,
Try "game" instead,
Don't waste your time with charm,
Pussy on a pedestal,
That's where it belongs,
If you can't treat your lover right,
Send her here to my arms,
{Yeah , yeah}
Pussy on a pedestal,
That's where it belongs,
{That's where it belongs, oh!}
If you can't treat your lover right,
Send her here to my arms,
If you need a man who understands,
Just what your mind & body need,
Then girl take my hand,
We’ll make a plan & live out all your fantasies, oh!
Pussy on a pedestal,
{Pussy on a pedestal}
That's where it belongs,
{Yeah, yeah}
If you can't treat your lover right,
Send her here to my arms,
{Just send your lover, fool, just send your love to me}
Pussy on a pedestal,
{On a pedestal}
That's where it belongs,
{That's where it belongs, oh!}
If you can't treat your lover right,
{You gotta treat her right}
Send her here to my arms,
{Or send your love, send your lover to my loving arms}
