I feel a bond between us |
|
I have felt like you do |
|
I know better than to take it away from you |
|
I have a right, the only one in my life |
|
A right to what is rightfully mine |
|
Untainted, untempted, and sober |
|
I will never touch that skin again |
|
I will never feel that way again |
|
I will never look into the face of my father or my friends |
|
And be able to say, I'm okay, I'm okay, I don't feel pain anyway |
|
Not anymore, anyway |
|
And I'm not dead yet, I could be soon |
|
And all I want to do is put my arms around you |
|
Little girl, it's all so new |
|
Go little girl, you need to learn, little girl |
|
Not to take what is a man |
|
And I'm not dead yet, I could be soon |
|
And all I want to do is put my arms around you |
|
Little girl, it's all so new |
|
Go little girl, you need to learn, little girl |
|
What it is to be a woman |
