Never That Low
Even when I wanted to run
Straight for the hills
I stayed here
Taking my pills
Pretending there are birds
Sitting on all the window sills
Whatever it took
To pay the bills
Even when I was up to the gills
They offered me money
I refused
I’d rather not have to
Sink so low
I’ve sunken low
Never that low
I’d rather be below
That line
They use to define
The rich from the poor
A good girl
From a whore
They never ask you at the store
“Where do you get the money?”
Don’t look at me funny
I don’t need to sell it, honey
