I lick my paws clean I starve myself lean My friends are growing up I’m just growing tired I saw the moon come up on you I saw the sun go down on you I’d like to see the world Haven’t got a soul to show me around I’m nobody’s girl I can think for myself And I won’t take shit From anybody else It’s getting old in this dead heat doorway I only hope that my baby is safe Think I’m becoming more honest with myself Just hope it doesn’t send me straight to hell When I hear him leave, I’m getting out of here Yeah, when he comes home, goddamn, I will be hours from here I’m nobody’s girl I can think for myself And I won’t take shit From anybody else

I could drink myself into a stupor But I don’t think you’d like me then I could walk, nervous, through the park and meet you just around the bend Sometimes I’m just no good at this life I stumble through days and I bust through the night I’ve been stumblin' for days and I can’t sleep through the night And, Mom, I know that you’re worried So I’ll come home tomorrow, I will try to hurry When my uncle finally dies I wanna be there for my dad when cries I know your boyfriend probably hates me Maybe one day he’ll know I’m not so bad ’Til then, if you see him around, Could you maybe just tell him not to kick my ass?
3.
You play sports with all your friends I stay up and drink wine until 6 am You’re looking’ good, you look real trim Me? Well, I’ve always been this thin Sunday clothes are on and they look alright Hand-me-downs fit a little tight On my way to church, haven’t shaved in weeks Not quite sure why mom invited me... No, I’m not sure why she invited me Should probably be home getting some sleep I know we said we were sorry again and again The meaning behind the words just ain’t the same You’ve got a heart of gold and the prettiest face You should listen to your friends; stay the hell away I’m bad news, kid, and you’re so good Don’t fuck around in my neighbourhood No, don’t fuck around in my neighbourhood Don’t fuck around in my hood
4.
There’s a window open in your room I can crawl right through, spend my life with you There’s a little mouse inside my dreams I feed him cheese and he loves me All my neighbours ask me where my girl is, where I’m going I say I don’t know yet There’s a little bird inside my head Says he don’t need a bed, he just tweets instead There’s a mountain I’ve gotta climb It might take some time, but I’ll make it mine There’s a little kitten on my bed I keep him fed and kiss his head
