Look More Like A Girl is the second single from Hardworker's debut LP Go Alone, out July 21.

lyrics

We’ve gotta talk about your nails.
And the greater implications
Of not bettering yourself
So men will get the invitation.
We gotta talk about your attitude
And those big expensive words you use.

We’ve gotta talk about your hair
And the message that it’s sending.
It kinda seems like you don’t care
And you’re not even pretending.
We’ve gotta talk about your baggy clothes
And your pants—you’ve got a hole in those.
I’m not trying to make trouble,
But you need to shave that stubble
If you want him to propose.

Why don’t you look more like a girl?
Why don’t you act more like a lady?
What, exactly, would it hurt
To put some lipstick on before we go?

You know I didn’t make the rules.
A woman’s body is for looking.
And when you’ve finished the walk-through,
It’s only fair to start appraising.
A lot of talk of talk about a woman’s worth
If it can fit inside this season’s purse.
I don’t mean to come off hateful
Or sound shallow or ungrateful.
Can’t you look more like a girl?

Why don’t you look more like a girl?
Why don’t you act more like a lady?
What, exactly, would it hurt
To put some lipstick on before we go?
Won’t you look more like a girl?
You were put upon this earth
To take directions and give birth,
Why don’t you look more like a girl?
