| Yea, there was a time I didnt like the love, I liked the climbers,
|
| I was no sister then, I was running out of time and one liners,
|
| And I was afraid, like you are when youre too young to know the time, and
|
| So I watched the way you take your fear and hoard the horizon,
|
| You point, you have a word for every woman you can lay your eyes on,
|
| Like you own them just because you bought the time,
|
| And you turn to me, you say you hope Im not threatened,
|
| Oh -- Im not that petty, as cool as I am, I thought youd know this already,
|
| I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.
|
| So now were at a club, you watch the woman dancing, she is drunk,
|
| She is smiling and shes falling in a slow, descending funk,
|
| And the whole bar is loud and proud and everybodys trying, yeah.
|
| You play the artist, saying, is it how she moves, or how she looks?
|
| I say, its loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks,
|
| And as long as shes got noise, shes fine.
|
| But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the musics ended,
|
| Oh -- and thats not petty, as cool as I am, I thought youd know this already,
|
| I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.
|
| You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess, tried to make me feel like a little less,
|
| Oh, I liked you when your soul was bared, I thought you knew how to be scared,
|
| And now its amazing what you did to make me stay,
|
| But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going,
|
| And so Im leaving, you can find out how much better things can get,
|
| And if it helps, Id say I feel a little worse than I did when we met,
|
| So when you find someone else, you can try again, it might work next time,
|
| You look out of the kitchen window and you shake your head and say low,
|
| if I could believe that stuff, Id say that woman has a halo,
|
| And I look out and say, yeah, shes really blond,
|
| And then I go outside and join the others, I am the others,
|
| Oh -- and thats not easy, I dont know what you saw, I want somebody who sees me,
|
| I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women. |
