Letter to a John Lyrics

Cover art for Letter to a John lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I loveee this song! It's about have self respect and worth even when you have been crumpled by life's circumstances. But there is a very important correction on the lyrics.... The first verse begins "I'm gonna sit on your lap for five dollars a song..." But in the last verse she raises her price to ten dollars. Which I intrepreted as her raising her self worth from the horrible experiences she's had rather than lowering it.... Complete perfection and always lifts my mood!!
