The Word Girl
Do what you should do
to long for me to hear
You open up your heart
and watch my name appear
It's 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 wanted me to
The second time I came to you
you found my love for you
The third time I came to you
oh I knew
The last time I came to you
how my flesh and blood became the word
A name a girl outgrew
the girl is never real
she stands for your abuse
the girl is no ideal
It's a word, a word for what you do
in a world of broken rules
I found a place for you
along my chain of fools
The first time baby that I came to you
I'd do things that you wanted me to
The second time I came to you
you found my love for you
The third time I came to you
oh I knew
The last time I came to you
how my flesh and blood became the word
Do what you should do
to long for me to hear
You open up your heart
and watch my name appear
It's 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 wanted me to
The second time I came to you
you found my love for you
The third time I came to you
oh I knew
The last time I came to you
how my flesh and blood became the word
A name a girl outgrew
the girl is never real
she stands for your abuse
the girl is no ideal
It's a word, a word for what you do
in a world of broken rules
I found a place for you
along my chain of fools
The first time baby that I came to you
I'd do things that you wanted me to
The second time I came to you
you found my love for you
The third time I came to you
oh I knew
The last time I came to you
how my flesh and blood became the word
