Have I become the woman you wanted me to be?
Do you like the clothes I wear?
Do you like what’s underneath?
How about her touching me, is it dirty to you or clean?
I can put my panties on, I don’t mean to be obscene.
Could you treat me like a little whore?
Never meant it as a metaphor.
Once I am older, won’t tell the children.
Between the two of us, my family line is finished.
I’ll drink the coffee, float down the river,
Music may be the only life I will deliver.
Do you listen when I speak?
Would you notice if I were to leave?
Something real and something fake,
The only thing that my love will ever make.
At least it’s something, at least it’s loud.
At least I’m singing, you’re singing now.
If I am nothing, at least I wrote this.
If I am nothing, at least I was yours for a little bit.
