Don’t want no marble statue smooth and cold as ice Not some man-made goddess custom cut and spliced Don’t need no great big set of charms to tempt my heart (oh no) Prefer the feel of something real over plastic art Well Aphrodite’s got grace but she ain’t the face I know and I love ‘Cause I got blood in these veins while she’s some spooky dame Lost in the heavens above
Chorus: Why do you wanna be Venus? When your light shines brighter than the brightest star Why do you wanna be anyone else other than who you are? Why do you wanna be Venus? When you’re so much more than she could ever be Yeah I feel like I’m losing you
Come back to me
Don’t want no hand-made inlaid porcelain china doll (oh no) Not some babe who comes unstitched before every mirror on the wall Yeah DiMilo’s some piece but no thanks please Not my cup of tea (oh no) ‘Cause I want flesh and bone and not some block of stone Lying in bed next to me
(Chorus)
Blame it on those dippy dreams of beauty queens Who kowtow to the pressure Prescribing to the point of view that bigger is better Yeah those tattooed lips those vacuumed hips this whole insanity Remember what you do you do for you and not for me
(Chorus)
Come back to me (come back to me) Baby please come back to me Come back yeah (Don’t want no marble statue smooth and cold as ice) Baby please come back to me (Don’t want no marble statue smooth and cold as ice)
