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
