RAYE
Ice Cream Man. (Original Version)
[Verse 1]
So this producer hit me up on the DM
He told me "Hey, I really like what you are doing"
He told me "Come to the studio, let's cook it"
He told me "Come and catch a vibe and make some music"
But when I got there, shoulda heard what he was saying
Trying to touch me, trying to fuck me, I'm not playing
I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it
How God damn dare you do that to me, really
[Pre-Chorus]
Come in like the ice cream man
Till I felt his ice-cold hands
He should havе been arrested then
God damn, god damn
Evеrything you did, it left me in a ruin
And no I didn't say a word, I guess it proves it
I'm a woman
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a woman
I'm a very fucking brave strong woman
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man I've been broken for a moment
I've been through it all
Hope I'm alive to see a change in the, you know
Pouring out my sad soul
I'm a woman
A very fucking strong woman
[Verse 2]
I used to go out
When I was fourteen, in my shorts
I used to walk round
And all these men be hooting horns and they be whistling
I'm not a mother fucking dog, what am I missing?
Tell me please where is the respect, I am a goddess
It's about time we came out, spoke out, open, honest
Fed up with being paranoid and being cautious
Think it's time we really do something, I'm honest
[Pre-Chorus]
Come in like the ice cream man
Till I felt his ice-cold hands
You should have been arrested then
God damn, god damn
Everything you did, it left me in a ruin
And no I didn't say a word, I guess it proves it
I'm a woman
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a woman
I'm a very fucking brave strong woman
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man I've been broken for a moment
I've been through it all
Hope I'm alive to see a change, you know
Pouring out my sad soul
I'm a woman
A very fucking strong woman
[Bridge]
Wish I could say how I feel, how I felt
And explain why I'm silently blaming myself
And I put on these faces, pretending I'm fine
And then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind in my head
Always going round and round in my head
Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin
You made me frame myself for your sin
You pathetic dead excuse of a man
[Chorus]
I'm a woman
I'm a very fucking brave strong woman
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man I've been broken for a moment
I've been through it all
Hope I'm alive to see a change, you know
Pouring out my sad soul
I'm a woman
A very fucking strong woman
[Outro]
Oh, oh
I'm a very strong woman
Oh, oh
I'm a very strong woman
