don't ask me why I'm crying
  I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
  I'm just gonna sit on your lap
  for five dollars a song
  I want you to pay me for my beauty
  I think it's only right
  'cause I have been paying for it
  all of my life
    I'm gonna take the money I make
  I'm gonna take the money I make
  I'm gonna take the money I make
  and I'm gonna go away...
    we barely have time to react in this world
  let alone rehearse
  and I don't think I'm better than you
  but I don't think that I'm worse
  women learn to be women
  and men learn to be men
  and I don't blame it all on you
  but I don't want to be your friend
    I'm gonna take the money I make
  I'm gonna take the money I make
  I'm gonna take the money I make
  and I'm gonna go away...
    I was eleven years old
  he was as old as my dad
  and he took something from me
  I didn't even know that I had
  so don't tell me about decency
  don't tell me about pride
  just give me something for my trouble
  'cause this time, it's not a free ride
    I'm gonna take the money I make
  I'm gonna take the money I make
  I'm gonna take the money I make
  and I'm gonna go away...
    don't ask me why I'm crying
  I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
  I'm just gonna sit on your lap
  for five dollars a songs
  I want you to pay me for my beauty
  I think it's only right
  'cause I have been paying for it
  all of my life
    now I just wanna take
  and I'm just gonna take
  I'm gonna take
  and I'm gonna go away
