While It Lasted

a girl does

what her mother tells her

...and of course her father

'cause the discrimination

is never done

a lady does

what society tells her

i did them

i was a sweet girl

and a perfect lady

but now i'm done

i do whatever

the hell

i want to do

i'm a woman

being a girl was

acceptable

while it lasted

being a lady was

horrible

while it lasted
