Yea, there was a time I didnt 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 youre 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 Im not threatened, |
|
Oh -- Im not that petty, as cool as I am, I thought youd know this already, |
|
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women. |
|
So now were at a club, you watch the woman dancing, she is drunk, |
|
She is smiling and shes falling in a slow, descending funk, |
|
And the whole bar is loud and proud and everybodys trying, yeah. |
|
You play the artist, saying, 'Is it how she moves, or how she looks?' |
|
I say, its loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks, |
|
And as long as shes got noise, shes fine. |
|
But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the musics ended, |
|
Oh -- and thats not petty, as cool as I am, I thought youd 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 its amazing what you did to make me stay, |
|
But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going, |
|
And so Im leaving, you can find out how much better things can get, |
|
And if it helps, Id 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, Id say that woman has a halo,' |
|
And I look out and say, 'Yeah, shes really blond,' |
|
And then I go outside and join the others, I am the others, |
|
Oh -- and thats not easy, I dont know what you saw, I want somebody who sees me, |
|
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women. |
