In a Parlor Reading a Book

Here I set in a parlor reading a book,
gotta keep my face down, don't wanna look.
 It's all women and girls in here except for me,
I'm waiting for my mom to get done you see.
 They all keep telling me go ahead your next,
oh I feel like my world has now been hexed.
 I can hear what these girls will be saying in the classroom,
tomorrow when school's goin, I'm skipping, not facing the doom!
 For the now I'll set here and read a book,
back in the corner of this girl filled Parlor's nook!
