He said “Angel,
Put that purple skirt on
You know it makes me hot”
He said “Come on, come on
Get on, get up, look like
You’re enjoying my company”
Oh and he said
“You can’t change the world
You’re another one of my fools
You were born to have my baby now
Don’t cry my precious one
Coz I ain’t got no sympathy for you”
And I am, I feel
Like, I wanna bite his head off
Yeah, that’d be fun
Coz I sure got an appetite
I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little but nothin’ happened
And the big bad wolf’s still in my bed
I am, I feel
I sometimes think that you forget that
I am, I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
This girl’s a person, y’know
I am, I feel
Oh, he said, “Angel,
Your halo ain’t fitted that good for a little while now
You ain’t got that certain glow
That I get a kick out of”
(Like it bothered me!)
I’m takin’ it on the chin with a grin
But my feet are itchin’ and itchin’
He says “Don’t cry my precious one
Coz I ain’t got no sympathy for you”
And I am, I feel
Like, I wanna smash his face in
Yeah, that’d be fun
Coz I sure got a fist for a fight
I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little but nothin’ happened
And the big bad wolf’s still in my bed
Well, it’s hard to get through
When you’re knocking on wood
And I got to thinking I was worth more than he
Put on my boots
I got a soul if you get down to the roots

[u]On the river[/u] In the channel where the rocks just scrape the surface I heard her wailing loud [i]"What is this all about?"[/i] And I don't know, but he won't be back home My little dancer, The color in your eyes is slowly fading Your smile has gone to hell If you could only tell me how you feel But I'm too simple to comprehend So many lonely evenings Resulting in harmful grieving late at night So many deep depressions Causing mental repressions, something's wrong If you could tell me something's wrong You've been this way so long, and it's a shame Through the town square On the Conch Train to the ocean, she sneaks through the mob Under the big Lone Palm, she can't keep her calm With nothing but an empty heart, she starts to sob A single capsized boat And I can't vault over your moat Please let me in But I know I'll never win, for you are lost I'll never know the pain you've felt On the river In the channel where the rocks just scrape the surface I heard her wailing loud [i]"What is this all about?"[/i] And I don't know, but he won't be back home.
