Everything I say gets turned against me
Even when I am naive, and weak
And have done everything to please,
It's somehow all for the wrong reasons,
The wrong people, the wrong time, the wrong seasons
Summer, I let him pursued me into bikini dipping,
27, middle aged man, his birthday it was and I had just celebrated 16 years
No harm, no wrong in swimming, bikini dipping with an audience,
Mommy please, yes I am naive but I have self dignity
Yes I do think, right from wrong, is sometimes a blur
But don't punish me
I am only naive
The Bible, he read to me, made me think he was a follower of Jesus
No harm, no wrong in Songs of Songs
Mommy please, yes I am naive but he spoke of the Lord and I was eager to let him preach
I am the target, when did I become the suspect?
Shelter me, protect me, all I ever did was to please
Self respect. Dignity. Self release.
My the Lord help me off my feet,
Past the world of naivety.
