Lyrics - Letter To A John by Difranco Ani

don't ask me why
I'm crying
I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
I'm just gonna sit on your lapfor five dollars a song
I want you to pay me for my beauty
I think it's only right'cause
I have been paying for itall of my life
I'm gonna take the money
I make
I'm gonna take the money
I make
I'm gonna take the money
I makeand
I'm gonna go away...we barely have time to react in this worldlet alone rehearseand
I don't think
I'm better than youbut
I don't think that
I'm worsewomen learn to be womenand men learn to be menand
I don't blame it all on youbut
I don't want to be your friend
I'm gonna take the money
I make
I'm gonna take the money
I make
I'm gonna take the money
I makeand
I'm gonna go away...
I was eleven years oldhe was as old as my dadand he took something from me
I didn't even know that
I hadso don't tell me about decencydon't tell me about pridejust give me something for my trouble'cause this time, it's not a free ride
I'm gonna take the money
I make
I'm gonna take the money
I make
I'm gonna take the money
I makeand
I'm gonna go away...don't ask me why
I'm crying
I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
I'm just gonna sit on your lapfor five dollars a songs
I want you to pay me for my beauty
I think it's only right'cause
I have been paying for itall of my lifenow
I just wanna takeand
I'm just gonna take
I'm gonna takeand
I'm gonna go away
