A Womans Worth

Time after time i've watched you.
Seen you walk pass her, smiling.
Making false promises to her.

Time after time i've watched her.
Cleaning, cooking, and running your bath. 
Hoping to recieve what you promised.

Time after time i've watched you.
One Sunday you proclaim your christianity,.
Praying, thanking God for what you have.

Time after time i've watched her.
Lay on her bed, wishing , and hoping for it.
Something she needs, had always wanted.

Time after time he has lied to you.
Shouldn't she have what she need or wants?
Shouldn't she get nice things?
Don't you know this woman's worth?
