Letter to a John |
Don’t ask me why I’m crying, 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 it’s only right |
'Cause I have been waiting for it all of my life |
I wanna take the money I make |
Yeah, I’m just gonna take the money I make |
Now I’m just gonna take the money I make |
And I’m gonna go away |
We barely 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 just gonna take the money I make |
Yeah, I’m just 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 'bout decency, don’t tell me about pride |
Just give me something for my trouble, 'cause this time it’s not a free ride |
I just gonna take the money I make |
I’m just gonna take, yeah |
I’m just gonna take the money I make |
I’m gonna, gonna go away |
I’m just gonna go so far away |
Don’t even ask me why I’m crying, I’m not gonna tell you what’s wrong |
I’m just gonna sit on your lap for ten dollars a song |
I want you to pay me for my beauty I think it’s only right |
I have been waiting for it all of my life |
And I just wanna take, I just wanna take |
I’m just gonna take, and I’m gonna go away |
