Professional Widow Lyrics

Cover art for Professional Widow lyrics by Tori Amos

I remember reading a magazine article that was talking about Courtnye Love, and the writer just flatly assumed that this song was about her. It could be, but it's about a bunch of other things, too. It has that whole steriotypical South flavor like "Little Amsterdam," and it's kind of about a woman who lives in a time and place where she can't have power, so she does everything through her husband. And she's evil, too. I love that last line.
