It seems like years since you held the baby
While I wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after Sunday
And I knew you loved me
He thinks I just became famous
And that's what messed me up
But he's wrong
How could I possibly know what I want
When I was only twenty-one?
And there's millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted
And they will never be any influence on me
But you will always be
You will always be
If I treated you mean
I really didn't mean to
But you know how it is
And how a pregnancy can change you
I see plenty of clothes that I like
But I won't go anywhere nice for a while
All I want to do is just sit here
And write it all down and rest for a while
I can't bear to be in another city
One where you are not
I would return to nothing without you
If I'm your girlfriend or not
Maybe I was mean
But I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared
And I said so
Everyone can see what's going on
They laugh 'cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
It might be brave
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean
But I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I told you
Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes

I couldn't place who she reminded me of until one day it came to me, "You look a lot like Sinead O'Connor." Said she, missing the point, "But she's BALD!" and burst into tears. Well, I told you she was skittish. A while later, her cat died while having its teeth cleaned, she fell completely apart, and we never saw her again. |

| aquadonia (Green Bay, WI) | Posted: Sep 09, 2008 - 21:17 This is one woman I have so much respect for. I love her voice, and I will never forget seeing her on SNL (as mentioned in posts below), but not just for the politcal stance she made. I look back on that now and admire her guts to stand up there and do what she did. What passion! She stood up for her beliefs in a non-violent way and in such a public way, and I find that awesome. This song if definitely not her best, but I'll take it. Her voice is wonderful. |

The Pope isn't just a religious figure but a political one. He's fair game.
