| It’s not black enough to see where any white is
|
| So I’ll wait another hour for you and your designer jeans
|
| And I remember you as heartless as a freeway
|
| And I wonder if the time will make your eyes like angelynes
|
| Will you shuffle to your seat, greasy head and naked feet?
|
| And your expensive hands are swinging all your Beverly keys
|
| The latest colors on your lip, there’s a satchel at your hips
|
| And it’s all full of broken Barbie dolls and disassembled dreams
|
| If you don’t want for them to hate you because you’re beautiful
|
| How can you want them all to love you for the same thing?
|
| For the same thing
|
| You went and left your license on the car seat
|
| You had a couple drinks with him and then you changed your name
|
| And then he handed you a tambourine and whistled
|
| No matter what they call you by, the meaning stays the same
|
| And now your shotgun on the floor, your window’s just a door
|
| Riding backward 'cross state lines in high heels that they made you wear
|
| Your steamers in the trunk, it’s all loaded up with junk
|
| Like lead and blood and dust and hair and stuff to kill the sting
|
| You don’t want for them to hate you because you’re beautiful
|
| How can you want them all to love you for the same thing?
|
| For the same thing
|
| Well your shotgun on the floor, your window’s just a door
|
| Riding backward 'cross state lines in high heels that they made you wear
|
| Your steamers in the trunk, it’s all loaded up with junk
|
| Like lead and blood and dust and hair and stuff to kill the sting
|
| You don’t want for them to hate you because you’re beautiful
|
| How can you want them all to love you for the same thing?
|
| For the same thing |
