Kate Gill - Ken and Barbie

[Verse 1]
Two little boys
Met each other on the playground
Just like the rest
Didn't stick out from the crowd
But between themselves
They knew that they were different
But they pushed it down
'Cause nobody would even listen

[Pre-Chorus]
Their parents always saying
"Boy when you grow up
You're gonna find a nice lady
make sure you act tough.
You'll be living a life like Barbie and Ken
Cmon suck it up and
Forget this nonsense."

[Chorus]
What if he wants Ken, not Barbie?
Why should he have to say sorry?
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slipping

We can love who we want to
Don't say he's not supposed to
If he loves Ken not Barbie
He doesn't have to say sorry

[Bridge]
No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone

[Verse 2]
17 years old
Feeling like a stranger at home
Keeping his head down low
Hide away so that nobody will know
Avoiding mom and dad
When they're asking
"Who's your girlfriend?"
'Cause lord forbid they see His true identity

[Pre-Chorus]
His parents always saying
"Boy when will you see?
You'll be happy I know
It's just a woman you need
You'll be such a great Ken
Just gotta find your Barbie
Make sure you act like a man
It’s what you're born to be"

[Chorus]
What if he wants Ken, not Barbie?
Why should he have to say sorry?
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slipping

We can love who we want to
Don't say he's not supposed to
If he loves Ken not Barbie
He doesn't have to say sorry

[Bridge]
No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
No, no
He doesn't have to say sorry
No, No
He's never gonna say sorry

He always wanted Ken not Barbie
He never ever has to say sorry
And nobody is gonna listen
To all the dumb shit, you're slipping
We can love who we want to
Don't say he's not supposed
He'll always love Ken not Barbie
And he doesn't have to say sorry
To you

Female version

Her parents always saying
“Girl when you grow up
You’re gonna find a nice man
Make sure you’re pretty enough!
You’ll be living a life like Barbie and Ken
C’mon suck it up and
Forget this nonsense.”

But what if it’s not Ken but Barbie
Why should she have to say sorry?
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you’re slippin

We can love who we want to
Don’t say she’s not supposed to
If she doesn’t love Ken but Barbie
She doesn’t have to say sorry

No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
