What Are You Gonna Tell Her? |
| She thinks life is fair and God hears every prayer |
| And everyone gets their ever after |
| She thinks love is love, and if you work hard that’s enough |
| Skin is just skin and it doesn’t matter |
| And that her friends older brother is gonna keep his hands to himself |
| And that somebody’s gonna believe her when she tells |
| But what are you gonna tell her when she’s wrong? |
| Will you just shrug and say it’s been that way all along? |
| What are you gonna tell her when she figures out |
| That all this time you built her up just so the world can let her down? |
| Yeah, what do you tell her, what are you gonna tell her? |
| Do you just let her pretend that she can be the president? |
| Would it help us get there any faster? |
| Do you let her think the deck’s not stacked |
| And gay or straight or white or black |
| You just dream and anything can happen? |
| What are you gonna tell her when she’s wrong? |
| Will you just shrug and say it’s been that way all along? |
| What are you gonna tell her when she figures out |
| That all this time you built her up just so the world can let her down? |
| Yeah, what do you tell her, what are you gonna tell her? |
| Do you tell her not to fight? |
| Is it worth the sacrifice |
| Can you look her in the face and promise her that things will change? |
| What are you gonna tell her? |
| Maybe you can’t, 'cause there ain’t a way you can explain what you don’t |
| understand |
| What the hell do you tell her? |
| What the hell do you tell her, oh? |
| What are you gonna tell her? |
| What are you gonna tell her? |
