“Elizabeth Taylor” is an upbeat pop song sonically inspired by the timeless hits from the 50s & 60s with a modern twist.Visually, the music video pays homage to the queen herself in Kodi plays an androgynous Elizabeth in recreated moments from her career. Lyrically, the song is about a problematic relationship dealing with themes of unfaithfulness, manipulation, and the realization for one’s self-worth – that we are all queens (like Elizabeth Taylor.)

LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Couldn’t keep his hands off me even if he tried
Saying he’s a fool for me like there’s no other guy
And I could tell he’s lying straight through his teeth
But if feel so good when he’s next to me
No other man understands just what I like
Chorus:
Yeah they warned me my man could be a player
But my baby don’t lie
Cuz he said I was his Elizabeth Taylor
I get better with time
Yeah they warned me my man could be a player
But my baby don’t lie
Cuz he said I was his Elizabeth Taylor
I get better with time
Verse 2:
Yeah I know what they say bout the way I let him slide
How he’s coming home late to me every other night
And you could say I should find me another man
But baby I don’t think I could let go of him
No other man understands just what I like
Chorus:
Yeah they warned me my man could be a player
But my baby don’t lie
Cuz he said I was his Elizabeth Taylor
I get better with time
Yeah they warned me my man could be a player
But my baby don’t lie
Cuz he said I was his Elizabeth Taylor
I get better with time
Bridge:
My baby don’t lie, he don’t got the time
I’m Elizabeth Taylor (x4)
Chorus:
Yeah they warned me my man could be a player
But my baby don’t lie
Cuz he said I was his Elizabeth Taylor
I get better with time
Yeah they warned me my man could be a player
But my baby don’t lie
Cuz he said I was his Elizabeth Taylor
I get better with time
In Honor of Elizabeth
