Ani Difranco "Letters To A John" |
"Don't ask me why cryin' I'm not gonna tell you what's wrong. I'm just gonna sit on your lap For five dollars a song. I want you to Pay me for my beauty, I think its only right Cause I have been paying for it All of my life. I'm just gonna take the money I make, I'm gonna take the money I make, I'm gonna take the money I make, And I'm gonna go away. Bearly have time to react in this world, Let alone rehearse. And I don't think that I'm better than you, But I don't think that I'm worse. So women learn to be women, And men learn to be men, And I don't blame it all on you, But I don't want to be your friend. I'm just gonna take the money I make, I'm gonna take the money I make, I'm gonna take the money I make, And I'm gonna go away. I was eleven years old, He was as old as my dad, And he took something from me I didn't even know that I had, So don't tell me about decency, Don't tell me about pride, Just give me something for my trouble, Cause this time its not a free ride. I'm just gonna take the money I make, I'm gonna take the money I make, I'm gonna take the money I make, And I'm gonna go away. Don't ask me why I'm cryin' I'm not gonna tell you what's wrong. Just gonna sit on your lap For five dollars a song. I want you to Pay me for my beauty, I think its only right. I have been paying for it All of my life. I'm just gonna take, I'm gonna take, I'm gonna take, And I'm gonna go away." Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
