Tell Me

Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
And oh, my love, I won’t run from you
I will let you be you
You be you
But if you shame me
Well, I could kill you
I could break you in two
I’m not faking
So don’t be mistaken
See I’ve much better things to do
Call me hysterical
I’m really quite fine
I’m a woman
And a woman knows her mind
I am strong, I won’t quit trying
And I’m running, no I won’t run blind
Why must I wait?
I see no line
Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
And oh, my love, I won’t run from you
I will let you be you
You be you
You be
Does it bother you that I’m forward?
Well, I have a thoughtful mouth
While you spew sick intolerance
I’m afraid to leave my house
You can’t sign away my rights on a dotted line
I’m a woman and a woman knows her mind
When I’m gone, what will I leave behind?
The tracings of a world all mine
So your saddest crime
Would be to waste my time
Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
