The Word Girl |
To do what I should do, to long for you to hear |
I open up my heart and watch her name appear |
A word for you to use, a girl without a cause |
A name for what you lose when it was never yours |
The first time, baby, that I came to you |
I’d do things that you want me to |
The second time, baby, that I came to you |
Oh, you found my love for you |
The third time, baby, that I came to you |
Oh, oh, oh, I knew |
The last time, baby, that I came to you |
Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word |
A name the girl outgrew, the girl was never real |
She stands for your abuse, the girl is no ideal |
It’s a word for what you do in a world of broken rules |
She found a place for you along her chain of fools |
The first time, baby, that I came to you |
I’d do things that you want me to |
The second time, baby, that I came to you |
Oh, you found my love for you |
The third time, baby, that I came to you |
Oh, oh, oh, I knew |
The last time, baby, that I came to you |
Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word |
Oh how your flesh and blood |
Oh how your flesh and blood |
Oh how your flesh and blood |
Oh how your flesh and blood |
Oh how your flesh and blood |
Oh how your flesh and blood |
Oh how your flesh and blood |
Oh how |
Oh how |
Oh how |
