Mathilde Santing The Word Girl
Do what you should do
to long for me to hear
You open up your heart
and watch my name appear
It’s a word for you to use
a girl without a cause
a name for what you lose
when it was never yours
The first time baby that I came to you
I’d do things that you wanted me to
The second time I came to you
you found my love for you
The third time I came to you
oh I knew
The last time I came to you
how my flesh and blood became the word
A name a girl outgrew
the girl is never real
she stands for your abuse
the girl is no ideal
It’s a word, a word for what you do
in a world of broken rules
I found a place for you
along my chain of fools
The first time baby that I came to you
I’d do things that you wanted me to
The second time I came to you
you found my love for you
The third time I came to you
oh I knew
The last time I came to you
how my flesh and blood became the word
