Prostitute

Seems like forever and a day

If my intentions are misunderstood

Please be kind, I've done all I should

I won't ask of you what I would not do

Oh, I saw the damage in you

My fortunate one

The envy of youth

Why would they tell me to please those

That laugh in my face

When all of the reasons they've taught us

Fall over themselves to give way

Its not a question whether my heart is true

Streamlined, I had to pull through

Look for a new beginning on you

Oh, I got a message for you

Up and away

It's what I gotta do

Forgive what you have

For what you might lose

What would you say if I told you that I'm to blame

And what would you do if I had to deny your name

Where would you go if I told you I love you

And then walked away

N' who would I turn to if not for the ones

You could not say

I told you when I found you

If there were doubts you

Should be careful and unafraid

Now they surround you

And all that amounts to

Is love that you fed by

Perversion and pain

So if my affections are misunderstood

And you decide I'm up to no good

Don't ask me to enjoy them just for you

Ask yourself

Why I would choose

To prostitute myself

To live with fortune and shame, oh yeah

When you should have turned to the hearts of the ones

That you could not save

I told you when I found you

All that amounts to

Is love that you fed by

Perversion and pain
