Description
Courage here does not shout - it laughs. It dances on the edge of decency in a dressing gown from a meeting, rolls its eyes at other people's ‘you can't do that’ and does exactly what it wants. There is defiance in its gait, confidence in its voice, and a slight ‘go ahead and try to stop me’ in its smile.
In a world where people love to discuss how things ‘should be,’ she simply lives as she wants. Without bowing, without submission, without blushing. She provokes not for attention, but because freedom itself is already a provocation. And let someone whisper ‘monster’ and someone else whisper ‘icon’; it all sounds equally beautiful when the only response is: la-la-la... Miss Provocative.
Lyrics and translation
Original
This girl she got her own thing. This girl make all the girls sing.
This girl she's true to herself and she makes waves. They never look at her right.
They see the skin and they cry. They shout at her in the street but she's unfazed. Go baby go.
'Cause you're hitting like a whirlwind. Go baby go. And they hate to see you going.
So they try to knock her down. What are you talking about now?
Somebody stop her making all the good girls bad. She's a monster, Miss Provocative.
But we don't want to c-c-cause we love her style. She's a baller, Miss
Provocative. That's Miss Provocative.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Oh, Miss Provocative.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la. You see now. Yeah.
Ooh girl, the way you hold it down. You've got that different sound.
Business meeting, dressing down. So confident, with the guys doing the round.
Don't need a poker face, dancing on the table now. What you doing now girl?
Oh, I'm just trying to make a statement. What you telling the world?
Just that I didn't come to play, and you will never knock me down.
What are you talking about now? Somebody stop her making all the good girls bad.
She's a monster, Miss Provocative.
But we don't want to c-c-cause we love her style. She's a baller, Miss
Provocative.
Somebody stop her making all the good girls bad. She's a monster, Miss
Provocative. Oh, Miss Provocative. But we don't want to c-c-cause we love her style.
She's a baller, Miss Provocative.
That's Miss Provocative.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la. Oh, Miss Provocative. La-la-la-la-la-la-la. That's
Miss Provocative. La-la-la-la-la-la-la. Oh, Miss Provocative.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
You see now.
Yeah
