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
