don't ask me why I'm crying
|
I'm not going to 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 paying for it
|
all of my life
|
|
I'm 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...
|
|
we barely have time to react in this world
|
let alone rehearse
|
and I don't think I'm better than you
|
but I don't think that I'm worse
|
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 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, it's not a free ride
|
|
I'm 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 crying
|
I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
|
I'm just gonna sit on your lap
|
for five dollars a songs
|
I want you to pay me for my beauty
|
I think it's only right
|
'cause I have been paying for it
|
all of my life
|
|
now I just wanna take
|
and I'm just gonna take
|
I'm gonna take
|
and I'm gonna go away
