|
Yeah, there was a time |
|
I didn't like the love, |
|
I liked the climbers |
|
I was no sister then, |
|
I was running out of time and one liners |
|
And I was afraid like you are when you're too young to know the time |
|
And so I watched the way, you take your fear and hoard the horizon |
|
You point you have a word for every woman you can lay your eyes on |
|
Like you own them just because you bought the time |
|
And you turn to me, you say you hope |
|
I'm not threatened |
|
Oh, I am not that petty, as cool as |
|
I amI thought you'd know this already |
|
I will not be afraid of women |
|
I will not be afraid of women |
|
So now we're at a club, you watch the woman dancing, she is drunk |
|
She is smiling and she's falling in a slow descending funk |
|
And the whole bar is loud and proud and everybody's trying, yeah |
|
You play the artist, saying, "Is it how she moves or how she looks?" |
|
I say it's loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks |
|
And as long as she's got noise, she's fine |
|
But I could teach her how |
|
I learned to dance when the music's ended |
|
Oh, and that's not petty, as cool as |
|
I amI thought you'd know this already |
|
I will not be afraid of women |
|
I will not be afraid of women |
|
You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess |
|
Tried to make me feel like a little less |
|
Oh, I liked you when your soul was bared |
|
I thought you knew how to be scared |
|
And now it's amazing what you did to make me stay |
|
But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going |
|
And so I'm leaving, you can find out how much better things can get |
|
And if it helps, |
|
I'd say I feel a little worse than |
|
I did when we met |
|
So when you find someone else |
|
You can try again it might work next time |
|
You look out of the kitchen window |
|
And you shake your head and say low"If I could believe that stuff, I'd say that woman has a halo" |
|
And I look out and say, "Yeah, she's really blond" |
|
And then I go outside and join to the others, |
|
I am the others |
|
Oh, and that's not easy, |
|
I don't know what you saw |
|
I want somebody who sees me |
|
I will not be afraid of women |
|
I will not be afraid of women |
