maybe next time

maybe next time

I won´t laugh at jokes I don't understand

won´t do emotional somersaults

without knowing how to land

 

2

hello marilyn

though i never knew you at all

 

They bang it hard in a woman´s face

But for little girls they always open the door

Don´t come around here all flirt and silliness

And say you didn´'t know this

Don´t ask me if I´m sure.

You play their game and they mock you and call you ridiculous

They call you a whore

Then you turn around and blow them kissess and giggle

As if you are asking for more....
