Dawn

I want a perfect body
I wanna be in control
Let my nails grow long before biting them short

I wanna be your princess
Your klondike girl
Promises from weekends are good until

How did I believe you when you said
Don’t worry now, don’t worry now
How did I believe you when you said
Don’t worry now

We traveled in one suitcase
The trips to San Jose
I scratched it in my notebook
And the gloves that you crocheted

The smoke is in the curtains
The carpet’s lost its curl
Promises from weekends are good until

But I wanted her deleted
I wanted her gone
All stitched up with kisses
And sold out on the lawn

How did I believe you when you said
Don’t worry now, don’t worry now
How did I believe you when you said
Don’t worry now

Dawn of the work week
She’s Dawn from your work team
Dawn, you’ll need mercy
What’s done is done is done

So you hid her in the backyard
Inside you put your hand through the wall
And you ring finger was easy to fix
When you left me

Dawn of the work week
She’s Dawn from your work team
Dawn, you’ll need mercy
What’s done is done is done
