Pricilla
pricilla, don't you know you're not the only?
i can tell your heart gets lonely,
but won't you leave my man alone?
pricilla, my sweet stranger,
can't you see my love's in danger?
i'm sure there are some others
but i couldn't find their names.
he was acting pretty rotten,
going out like he'd forgotten
all the memories we'd made.
pricilla, can you hear me?
i'm trying to speak gently
for i only want the answers
that he refused to give.
pricilla, do you need a friend?
i have half a heart that i can lend.
your body is a work of art,
but please don't take his words to heart
for he doesn't know how to love.
pricilla, do you need to be saved?
i've heard all about you
and think you're so brave.
but right now the truth is all i crave
because my man cannot behave.
pricilla, don't you know you're not the only?
he preys on beauty because he's lonely.
it's not your fault, the man is a tramp.
my dear pricilla, don't cry him a river,
he'll just leave you cold and damp.
