A face untouched by the sun
A split, unbrushed Roman tongue
I don't want it
Eyes only a woman could bear
And I left a piece of myself there
How could I want it?
Mama said once when I was small
Don't ever, ever fall
For a man like I say
You'll know his lips before he learns your name
He'll know your hips before you learn his game
And you'll never love the same
I've never been one for commitment
A fairytale end, middle, beginning
I never thought you were different
Just thought I would risk it
Never been one for the butterflies
Always a strict one-track mind
I never thought you were different
Just thought I would risk it
Heart even a sister can't clutch
Through ripped blue jeans and a shirt untucked
How could I want it?
Hair quite longer than mine
Wicked teeth bite through space and time
How could I want it?
Mama said once when I was small
Don't ever, ever fall
For a man like I say
He'll ask your opinion on new tattoos
But they'll be there long after you lose
Every drop that you saved
I've never been one for commitment
A fairytale end, middle, beginning
I never thought you were different
Just thought I would risk it
Never been one for the butterflies
Always a strict one-track mind
I never thought you were different
Just thought I would risk it
Mama said once when I was small
Don't ever, ever fall for a man
Like I say
