She Said

they said you're crazy
to walk around downtown walk around round round
they said you're a lady
live underground with the sound turned way down
so where you goin' in this neighborhood?
i think you're lookin' for trouble cuz you look so good
the dark alleys–are too scary
for sweet sallys and helpless marys

she said
i'm living i'm living my own life
she said
i'm living i'm just trying to live my life

they said you asked for it
in that skirt so tight so tight tight
they said you deserve it
you're such a pretty sight in the streetlight late at night
so where's your daddy did he stay at home
well let me write him a check cuz you need to be owned
i'm your drama–you're my property
don't tell your mama that you didn't run away from me

she said
i'm living i'm living my own life
she said
i'm living i'm just trying to live my life

you better hide those curves
yeah you got some nerve

they said it's how you dressed
because your hips they sway from east to west
they said you're a fucking mess
your story dont pan out when he tells the rest
so where you hiding all those pretty things
i don't see a man and i don't see a ring
the world says–it's not fair
just wash that man right outta your hair!

she said
i'm living i'm living my own life
she said
i'm living i'm just trying to live my life
