I am a woman o

f heart and mi

nd
       
With time on h

er hands
     
No child to ra

ise
           
You come to me

            
 like a little

 boy
             
And I give you

              
 my scorn and 

        
my praise

   
You think I'm 

like your moth

er
          
Or another lov


er or your sis

ter
              
Or the queen o


f your dreams
           
Or just anothe

        
r silly girl
             
When love make

         
s a fool of me


    
After the rush

 when you come

 back down
        
You're always 

disappointed
             
Nothing seems 

   
to keep you hi

gh
      
Drive your bar

gains

Push your papers
       
Win your medal

s
        
Fuck your stra

ngers
              
Don't it leave

              
 you on the em

    
pty side

     
I'm looking fo

r affection an

d respect
             
A little passi


on
          
And you want s

            
timulation-not


hing more
            
That's what I 


think
              
But you know I

            
'll try to be 

there for you
             
When your spir

              
its start to s

  
ink

     
All this talk 

about holiness

 now
         
It must be the

              
 start of the 

     
latest style
  
Is it all book

s and words
       
Or do you real

ly feel it?

Do you really laugh?

Do you really care?
             
Do you really 

   
smile

When you smile?

         
You criticize 

and you flatte

r
     
You imitate th

e best
         
And the rest y

ou memorize
           
You know the t

              
imes you impre

     
ss me most
              
Are the times 

              
when you don't

 
 try
      
When you don't

 even try
