Mannequin

Started out as a parody/rewrite of Britney Spear's Mannequin.

This is what I came up with

No more talkin' around this
If you wanna hold onto me
I'm gonna get respect
I'm gonna get things
Everything that I want
In my own way
In my own time
Not yours
Not anymore
No more putting up with all your cries and whines
No more kinky favors ask to be handed down to your friends
Forget about asking me to lose all my excesses

Boy, I'm fighting back now
Doing what I gotta do to help myself
Help myself to get everything that this girl wants
So...you
If you don't like it
I'm gonna do what I like
No matter what you like
And you don't care for it
Then baby, one more time you can kiss mine
Then say goodbye to it

Ooh don't it make you just wanna
(Scream) Scream your lungs out
Ooh baby don't it make you just wanna
(Cry) Cry your eyes out
I wanna be doing it on my own
Run my own thing
From now on
That's what I'm gonna be all about
You can just go right ahead
And tear all the hair outta your head

Baby, baby
I won't care
I won't care
I won't care
I won't
Oh no
You'll never make this cry again cos
Ramona is no man's mannequin
Mannequin
Yeah, you used to do it to me again and again
Not anymore
Not anymore
Never gonna make me
Never again gonna make
Cr-cr-cr-cry
Cos Iike I've told you a thousand times before
*Spoken*

You tell me
I'll be through in this town
All our friends will turn their backs on me
My assets will be frozen
Don't give a.... anymore
You're so through imposin'
I'm so over you
Took it a step too far this time
Creeped into just a little too much of my space
Your threats don't move me
Watch me
When I come away complete
How well you will be shocked by me
Impressed by me
Wishin' you could get me back again
But you won't
Cos I know better
You'll never be changin'
Ooh baby to your new life without me
You'll just have to adjust

Baby, baby
I won't care
I won't care
I won't care
I won't
Oh no
You'll never make this cry again cos
Ramona is no man's mannequin
Mannequin
Yeah, you used to do it to me again and again
Not anymore
Not anymore
Never gonna make me
Never again gonna make
Cr-cr-cr-cry
Cos Iike I've told you a thousand times before
