DON'T DIS ME WHEN YOU KISS ME

Slumped against a green wall
One night at ye olde Coffee Bar
Pretty Rae gazed into a tabloid face
Just in from planet Mars.

She said, "You've been gorging at life's table
Contemplating navels
Doin' every wannabe star
While I've been here
In an adverse stratosphere
Acquiring heavy scars.

So don't dis me
Don't dis me when you kiss me Major Tom
Don't demonize me darling just because I'm strong.
Don't dis me
Don't dis me when you kiss me Major Tom
And we will get along.

I'm not a super model
Sucking on a bottle of water with a twist.
Some jailbait, implant tit Minnie
I can not give you this.

And I'm not like your mother
Forgiving you for every sin that you commit.
It's all that I can do just to get through
In my own orbit.

So don't dis me
Don't dis me when you kiss me Major Tom
Don't demonize me darling just because I'm strong.
Don't dis me
Don't dis me when you kiss me Major Tom
And we will get along.

So you want to cop a feel
Do I get my record deal?
Jane be stupid for you Tarzan
Play dumb for you baby!

Oh! If I promise to be phony
Can I be your one and only?
If I geisha for you doll
Will you return my call?
Sing a sorrow song for you Massa!

Tom got up to leave
He couldn't believe this babe was such a bore.
But Rae was on a rant:
"I just can't be your fantasy angel or whore!"

Running out into the street
Tugging at his sleeve
The Action Man drew back in horror.
As he jumped into a cab
She cried, "Don't go away mad,
It wasn't me who started this war!"

So don't dis me
Don't dis me when you kiss me Major Tom
Don't demonize me darling just because I'm strong.
Don't dis me
Don't dis me when you kiss me Major Tom
And we will get along.
