Letter To A John - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
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 lapfor 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 itall 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 makeand I'm gonna go away...we barely have time to react in this worldlet alone rehearseand I don't think I'm better than youbut I don't think that I'm worsewomen learn to be womenand men learn to be menand I don't blame it all on youbut 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 makeand I'm gonna go away...I was eleven years oldhe was as old as my dadand he took something from me
I didn't even know that I hadso don't tell me about decencydon't tell me about pridejust 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 makeand 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 lapfor 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 itall of my lifenow I just wanna takeand I'm just gonna take
I'm gonna takeand I'm gonna go away
