Letter to a John (live)

don't ask me why I'm crying
 I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
 I'm just gonna sit on your lap
 for five dollars a song
 I want you to pay me for my beauty
 I think it's only right
 'cause I have been paying for it
 all of my life
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 and I'm gonna go away...
 we barely have time to react in this world
 let alone rehearse
 and I don't think I'm better than you
 but I don't think that I'm worse
 women learn to be women
 and men learn to be men
 and I don't blame it all on you
 but I don't want to be your friend
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 and I'm gonna go away...
 I was eleven years old
 he was as old as my dad
 and he took something from me
 I didn't even know that I had
 so don't tell me about decency
 don't tell me about pride
 just give me something for my trouble
 'cause this time, it's not a free ride
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 I'm gonna take the money I make
 and I'm gonna go away...
 don't ask me why I'm crying
 I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
 I'm just gonna sit on your lap
 for five dollars a songs
 I want you to pay me for my beauty
 I think it's only right
 'cause I have been paying for it
 all of my life
 now I just wanna take
 and I'm just gonna take
 I'm gonna take
 and I'm gonna go away
