I feel a bond between us
I have felt like you do
I know better than to take it away from you
I have right
The only one in my life
A right to what is rightfully mine
Untainted, untempting, and sober
I will never touch that skin again
I will never feel that way again
I will never look into the face
Of my father or my friends
And be able to say, I'm okay, I'm okay
I don't feel pain anyway
Not anymore, anyway
And I'm not dead yet
I could be soon
And all I want to do
Is put my arms around you
Little girl, it's all so new
Girl, little girl, you need to learn, little girl
Not to take what is mine
I'm not dead yet
I could be soon
And all I want to do
Is put my arms around you
Little girl, it's all so new
Girl, little girl, you need to learn, little girl
What it is to be a woman
I feel a bond between us I have felt like you do I know better than to take it away from you
I have right The only one in my life A right to what is rightfully mine Untainted, untempting, and sober
I will never touch that skin again I will never feel that way again I will never look into the face Of my father or my friends And be able to say, I'm okay, I'm okay I don't feel pain anyway Not anymore, anyway
And I'm not dead yet I could be soon And all I want to do Is put my arms around you Little girl, it's all so new Girl, little girl, you need to learn, little girl Not to take what is mine
I'm not dead yet I could be soon And all I want to do Is put my arms around you Little girl, it's all so new Girl, little girl, you need to learn, little girl What it is to be a woman
