If tits could talk, what would they say?

If boobs could speak for just one day

Stop wearing those bras that are falling to pieces!

Sorry for stretching your best shirts and fleeces

Stop pushing us together, Christ we need air!

Believe us when we say it gets sweaty down there

So when you go running, or fancy something sporty

Don’t forget your friends down here might need some more supporty

Stop worrying about whether we look round and perky,

All tits sag by the age of 30!

We may sit apart; we may look down

We each have a nose, either pink or brown

We’re all slightly different, that’s mother nature’s aim

For how boring it’d be, to all look the same

So stop squashing us down to make us look smaller

Wear us with pride, stand a little taller

And even if we’re slightly smaller, this needn’t be an issue

For size does not define a woman, nor do pads or tissue

If tits could talk, I’m sure they’d say

**** it’s bloody cold today!

And why does he keep staring?

Is it because of what we’re wearing?

All these eyes are glaring, we really wish they’d stop

For you miss a woman’s face when you’re talking to her top.

If tits could talk, I’m sure they’d say

Love us please in every way!

Buy us bras that fit just right, hold us tightly through the night

When you bleed each month, remember we are sore

Allow us to relax, drop the bras to the floor

And just know it’s ok to wear tops that reveal

Because YOU decide who cops a feel

Know your bust is more than lust, this assumption very wrong

For one day we’ll feed children, to make them big and strong

One last thing we must get off our chest,

To say it now I think it’s best

Please, you have to check us, don’t make it such a chore

Always feel for lumps and bumps that were not there before.

If tits could talk I’d want them to say

Look after us, we’re important
