don't ask me why I'm crying

I'm not going to tell you what's wrong

I'm just gonna sit on your lap

for five dollars a song

I want you to pay me for my beauty

I think it's only right

'cause I have been paying for it

all of my life



I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

and I'm gonna go away...



we barely have time to react in this world

let alone rehearse

and I don't think I'm better than you

but I don't think that I'm worse

women learn to be women

and men learn to be men

and I don't blame it all on you

but I don't want to be your friend



I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

and I'm gonna go away...



I was eleven years old

he was as old as my dad

and he took something from me

I didn't even know that I had

so don't tell me about decency

don't tell me about pride

just give me something for my trouble

'cause this time, it's not a free ride



I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

and I'm gonna go away...



don't ask me why I'm crying

I'm not going to tell you what's wrong

I'm just gonna sit on your lap

for five dollars a songs

I want you to pay me for my beauty

I think it's only right

'cause I have been paying for it

all of my life



now I just wanna take

and I'm just gonna take

I'm gonna take

and I'm gonna go away
