Hey Baby
Here’s a true story:
I was walking home one day
You whistled over at me
But I didn’t look your way
“Hey Baby, turn those legs around”
Crossing the street, you looked me up and down
“C’mon, angel, let’s go get a drink”
But I returned a frown
I’m not your angel, baby
I won’t save your shallow soul
Didn’t hurt when I flew down from heaven
But it will when you rise from below
You can try to drag me down
But my wings burn to the touch
If you ask me what I think of you
I’ll reply “Not much.”
Don’t try to put me in my place
I’m soaring high above
Your ideas of my purpose
And I don’t need your love
I’m not your angel, baby
I won’t join your sultry soul
Didn’t hurt when I flew down from heaven
But it will if you crawl from below
I’m a strong, proud, woman
I was created to be free
I’m not yours for the taking, baby
See, I belong to me
