Debutante

You got a lot of nerve
Using grown-up words and speaking out of turn
Have you lost your mind?
Girl, you’re in deep; you really done it this time
Wait by the phone
Or cook up a roast
And hope you’re good at making home
Debutante
Looking for a challenge
You’ve been climbing ladders you weren’t supposed to find
Sweetheart
It’s what’s on the outside that matters
Get accustomed to the trappings; you’re ahead of your time

You got to know the rules
To know they just apply to half the room
So smile for the camera
Everybody’s looking at you
Powder your nose
And wear the right clothes
And pray you don’t die alone

You’ve been climbing ladders you weren’t supposed to find

It’s what’s on the outside that matters
Get accustomed to the trappings; you’re ahead of your time

Cry uncle
Ollie oxen free
Raise the white flag to the old regime
Cry uncle
If it were me
I’d disguise my feelings in poetry
