More Than Material - Patti LaBelle

Don’t get mad if I treat me

To a day I only shop for me

Don’t get mad if I buy the clothes

That you think are not the style for me

Who I am is not what I wear

And what I think has nothing to do with hair

Love me by what my heart shows

But it seems like you just can’t let it go

You keep talking bout my clothes

But the clothes don’t make the woman

You keep talking bout my hair

But this hair can’t give you lovin'

(Only me)

You keep talkin bout my shoes

But my shoes don’t make me money

Now why you actin so hysterical

I’m so much more than material

Don’t get mad if I treat me

To a day of cosmotology

Don’t get mad if you see me

Exploring different sides of me

Deep inside of my outer shell

There’s only so much I’d show and tell

Love me like the real girl you know

But it seems that you just can’t let it go

More than material

More than the typical

More than just a video

A respectable

And effectual, girl
