you’re a needy greedy lady
and oh you drive me crazy
won’t someone come and save me
from this vixen smitten with me?
I just want to be left
to my own devices
no more chains and vices
free to be my own
ready to be alone
with someone who I know
isn’t keeping me under lock and key
playing games of catch and release
just eager to lay down and be
free
--
bones can break
but scars can fade
and I wouldn’t dare
erase these days
I just want a chance to sit back
swallow my pride and relax
ain’t no need to be fighting for affection
no reason to scream for attention
just give up that hunt for attraction
all this action
it’s not healthy without healing
and you’re dealing
but you haven't mended yet
don’t let yourself become succumbed
in desperately trying to please someone
when you aren’t too pleased with yourself
