| Tracy Chapman – Never Yours Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I've never seen this song as anything but the story of a young woman, raped at the prom by the son of a family friend that had made a bet that he could bed her at the prom. After being raped, she may have gained a reputation as a whore because of his subsequent boasting, or he could have called her such during a confrontation at some point. To me, the arranged marriage idea doesn't work because the relationship is a past tense situation, and this is not a happy song, at all. |
