Penny Thoughts
A penny for your thoughts my mother used to say
I wondered if she thought my thoughts were worth just a penny
Conversations at our house were mostly one-way
She would say children are to be seen not heard, times_many
I wondered if she thought my thoughts were worth just a penny
She didn't encourage me to speak anyway
She would say children are to be seen not heard, times_ many
Those thoughts just bounced around in my head everyday
She didn't encourage me to speak anyway
She said I asked as many questions as high priced attorney
Those thoughts just bounced around in my head everyday
Because I was not free to speak mind went on journey
She said I asked as many questions as high priced attorney
Conversations at our house were mostly one-way
Those thoughts just bounced around in my head everyday
A penny for your thoughts my mother used to say
