(Oh, hey)
Oh
I’m so mature, collected, and sensible
Except when I get hit with rejection
To turn me down, well, that’s just unethical
I’ll turn into someone you’re scared to know
But if you need my love
My clothes are off, I’m comin’ over to your place
And if you don’t need (If you don’t need) my love
Well, I didn’t want your little bitch ass anyway
Yeah, I’m a busy woman
I wouldn’t let you come into my calendar any night
But if you want my kisses
I’ll be your perfect Mrs. ’til the day that one of us dies (Oh, hey)
Busy woman, all the time
Busy woman
So much to shave and lipstick to reapply
Maybe for you, though, I could accommodate
I’m flexible, so just tell me what you like
Tantric yoga, baby, namaste
If you don’t want me, I’ll just deem you gay
But if you need my love
My clothes are off, I’m comin’ over to your place (Ah)
And if you don’t need (If you don’t need) my love
Well, I didn’t want your little bitch ass anyway
Yeah, I’m a busy woman
I wouldn’t let you come into my calendar any night
But if you want my kisses
I’ll be your perfect Mrs. ’til the day that one of us dies
Busy woman, all the time
Busy woman for the rest of my life
My openings are super tight
Busy woman, unless you call tonight
Night (Ooh)
Ooh
But if you need my love
My clothes are off, I’m comin’ over to your place (Ah)
And if you don’t need (If you don’t need) my love (My love)
Well, I didn’t want your little bitch ass anyway
‘Cause I’m a busy woman (Oh, hey)
I wouldn’t let you come into my calendar any night
But if you want my kisses
I’ll be your perfect Mrs. ’til the day that one of us dies
Empowered Vulnerability: Navigating Love with Wit
In “Busy Woman,” Sabrina Carpenter masterfully blends self-assuredness with playful vulnerability, capturing the complexities of modern relationships. The song’s protagonist is unapologetically confident, juggling a busy life yet willing to rearrange it for the right person. Carpenter’s clever wordplay and sharp humor shine as she addresses the paradox of craving connection while fiercely protecting her independence. The lyrics balance assertive declarations—like owning her schedule and boundaries—with tongue-in-cheek admissions of sensitivity to rejection. This dynamic creates a relatable narrative for anyone who’s felt both empowered and exposed in the pursuit of love.
