Where we were only Words
Cruel words struck me dumb
But for your eyes only did I smile
Scolded
Soundly scolded
I lapped it up
Lapped it up good Pretty Girl
Pretty good and pretty harsh
Words
More powerful than the thought
More powerful than the thought
The eye is fast but
The word gets there first
The word
Where you were Beauty
Cruel Beauty slapped me across the face
But for your eyes only did I smile
Scolded
Soundly
scolded
scolded
I lapped it up
Lapped it up good Pretty Girl
Pretty good and pretty harsh
Words more powerful than the thought
The eye is fast
But the fingers get there first
The fingers
Where I were cautious
Cruel Mummy Caution punched me in the chest
But for your eyes only did I smile
Scolded
Soundly
scolded
scolded
I lapped it up
Lapped it up good Pretty Girl
Pretty good and pretty harsh
Words more powerful than the thought
The eye is fast
But the fist gets there first
The fist
Where I were stabbed in the back cruel child
But for your eyes only did I smile
I lapped it up
Lapped it up good Pretty Girl
Pretty good and pretty harsh
Words more powerful than the thought
The eye is fast
But the words get there first
The fingers
The fist
The knife
