lyrics

Ain’t nobody gonna hold my hand
and walk me down the street.

Ain’t nobody gonna say my name
and whisper soft and sweet.

Ain’t nobody gonna win my heart
and keep in carefully.

Ain’t nobody gonna follow me
and open doors for me.

I got a type of intuition
that loves to push me around.
Keeps me fast, keeps me efficient.
It leaves no time for you to bring me down.

Ain’t nobody gonna ask me please
upon a bended knee.

Ain’t nobody gonna make my bed
in a room beside the sea.

Ain’t nobody gonna marry me
bells ringing in the trees.

Ain’t nobody gonna stay with me
change my bedpan when I pee.

I got this stubborn inclination --
ain’t gonna do a goddamn thing.
I got a heart built for starvation
and I ain’t gonna wear your fucking ring.

Ain’t nobody gonna follow me
and watch me while I sleep.

Ain’t nobody gonna lie to me
hold a knife behind their teeth.

Ain’t nobody gonna walk away
float away upon the breeze.

Ain’t nobody gonna have my heart
I’ve packed away the key.
