Wallflowers - Be Your Own Girl lyrics

Album: The Wallflowers (1992)

I know you are tired of wakin´ up on the floor
Pushed to the edge with nothin´ heavy to hold
Usin´ your clothes as a blanket & a bed
Holdin´ your hands just to lay your head.
I know you do not remember ever fallin´ down
Who picked you up, who gathered around

But you do not have to be his girl,
and you do not have to be my girl,
you can always be your own girl.

With the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleep
Restless & ageless & lookin´ for smth to keep
When you finally fall asleep you are awake in dreams
Hangin´ by the ankles in the skeleton ravine.

I know you can not relax / your candle wax / you kicked the lights
fell on your shoes
Punched out the colors, leaving you the blues

But you do not have to be his girl,
you do not have to be my girl,
you can always be your own girl.

Theres a soft melody that is ringin´ in your ears
Simple & slow & always brings you here.
With broken crayons you have scribbled on the wall
Shapes of nothing & shadow boxed them all.

Your fingertips are broke, & your knees don´t bend
Your imagination took the worst hit & cut its skin

But you do not have to be his girl,
and you do not have to be my girl,
you can always be your own girl.

Theres a soft melody that is ringin´ in my ears
It is the same one you could never avoid in yours
And if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tails
About a tattooed rhythm & drummin´ by color wheel.

Your rung is broken on the bottom of the rope
And you can not tie another, another knot of hope

And you do not have to be his girl,
And you do not have to be my girl,
You can always be your own girl.
