Why can’t you just be kind?
For a minute, for a moment?
Why do you always have to know
In the back of your mind
That you have to give me away,
One day or another, one way or another.
Why can’t you just treat me like him?
Love me with an open heart and
Try to forget for maybe one second
That maybe I am more than a commodity,
That you somehow have to give away,
One day or another, one way or another.
Why can’t you simply just love me?
And not pretend that, from the bottom of your heart
You’re afraid to do so!
Cause you know, you know I am not yours
And you have to give me away,
One day or another, one way or another.
