Sexism traps me

Lassie, sweetheart, love

That's not my name

Calling loudly, feel like I'm dying

Embarrassed, school skirt flying

 

Pet, darlin', hottie

That's not my name

Followed up the street, feeling scared

Don't know how to get help, if I dared

 

***** **** ****

That's not my name

Cop a feel when you go by, want to be sick

I'd never see you again, if only I could pick

 

Girl, gorgeous, lovely

That's not my name

Mind blanks on procedure, sheer panic as you come

Pushed up to a wall, you grab my ***

 

Beautiful, star, babe

That's not my name

I cried when you came home with me

After dinner, you claimed your fee
