Let Me At Them
My baby's tryin' to mistreat me and I don't know what to do
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day
Yeah I've loved her for such a long time...To end it all this way
Sittin' here so lonely....Tears be fallin' just like rain
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day
Yeah you know I love you baby...I'll do anything for you
But when we start to fightin'....I just get these same old blues
So
1974
I was born in 1974
on a calm meticulous street
someplace in the sun
oh the air was sweet
and enough lights sprang sparks
through the window of the room
not as raw to a ridiculous tune
slightly out of key in the mother hour
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
I'm busy breaking bones
I was born in 1974
in a breached feet-first way
my twin opened the door
my very first dose of chivalry
I was dawned princess potential potent
with gold star and matching impression
big between two doors
small and loved and proud and unthreatened
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
I'm busy breaking bones
I bet you were strong
when you should have been weak
like a dam that wanted to break
I wish I were the stones
your river learned to roam
in whispering gaze
You were told in a kind North Carolinian way
to slow down, back up, or be hated
thank god you did not
and thank god you did
an angel either way
So leave us alone
So leave us alone
So leave us alone
We're busy being grown
