Permission

Hold that thought
It’s yours to keep
I never asked you
What you think
I never asked how you felt
Told you love me
And no one else
Never asked for permission
Permission
Permission
Permission
I never asked for permission
Permission
Permission
I never asked for —
Hold that thought
It’s yours to keep
I’ll never bother
With what you think
I’ll pull those words
Right from your mouth
Like string round teeth
Tryna yank them out
I’ll never ask how it felt
Yeah you’re gonna want me
And no one else
Don’t need your
Permission
Permission
Permission
Don’t need your
Permission
Permission
Permission
I’ll never ask you
I was young and never wanted
To touch a man or be a woman
You kissed me and I cried out loud
No No I didn’t want you in my body
You never asked me to invite you in
You never ask for anything
You never asked you never asked
You never asked for Permission
Permission
Permission
Permission
You never asked for
Permission
Permission
Permission
You never asked me for me
