Asking for it
This girl
she walks down the street
she walks and walks
wearing her dress
and he jumps out
jumps out and takes her
takes all of her.
This girl
she sits on the couch
she sits and sits
lounging watching tv
and he walks into the room
walks in and takes her
takes all of her.
This girl
she goes to his house
she goes and goes
scuffing her converse
and he invites her in
invites her in and takes her
takes all of her.
This girl
she loves her boyfriend
she loves and loves
holding his hand
he decives her and takes her
takes all of her.
I
I went to a party
I went, I went
believing in safety
and he offered a drink
offered a drink and took me
took all of me.
They
They made no mistakes.
none, none at all.
They wore what they wore,
were who they were.
did they ask for it?
Did I?
No
and yet,
they took us
they took all of us.
But we,
we must try and try
to live our lives
to love and try
again.
