Fashion After All
Poppy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lipstick is a staple
My hair and makeup make you envious and want to die
A mother to so many
I'm saving every penny
I'm in Japan and Africa and I don't need a guide
My wrists are terrorists
My lips gave you a kiss
Do what I want
Say what I want
Wear what I want
Talk how I want
Walk how I want
Get what I want
Wear what I want
It's fashion after all
It's fashion after all
Fashion after all
It's fashion after all
Fashion after all
(La, la)
(La, la)
(La, la)
(La, la, la)
Give me a second to think
Give me something cold to drink
Give me a reason I should listen to another word
I'm revolutionary
Relatable and scary
I'm making plans to save the world and I don't need your help
I'm on another level
There's nothing I can't handle
I'm watching you watch me the way the Devil watches Angels
Do what I want
Say what I want
Wear what I want
Talk how I want
Walk how I want
Get what I want
Wear what I want
It's fashion after all
It's fashion after all
Fashion after all
It's fashion after all
Fashion after all
(La, la)
(La, la)
(La, la)
(La, la, la)
Do what I want
Say what I want
Wear what I want
Talk how I want
Walk how I want
Get what I want
Wear what I want
It's fashion after all
It's fashion after all
Fashion after all
It's fashion after all
Fashion after all
(La, la, la la) it's fashion after all
(La, la, la, la, la) fashion after all
(La, la, la, la) it's fashion after all
(La, la, la, la, la) fashion after
