I’m the girl you’ve been thinking about The one thing you can’t live without I’m the girl you’ve been waiting for I’ll have you down on your knees I’ll have you begging for more You probably thought I wouldn’t get this far You thought I’d end up in the back of a car You probably thought that I’d never escape I’d be a rat in a cage, I’d be a slave to this place You don’t know how hard I fought to survive Waking up alone when I was left to die You don’t know about this life I’ve led All these roads I’ve walked All these tears I’ve bled So how can this be? You’re praying to me As I look in your eyes I know just what that means I can be, I can be your everything I can be your whore I am the dirt you created I am your sinner And your whore But let me tell you something baby You love me for everything you hate me for I’m the one that you need and fear Now that you’re hooked, it’s all becoming clear That all your judgments that you placed on me Was a reflection of discovery So maybe next time when you cast your stones From the shadows of the dark unknown You will crawl up from your hiding place Take a look in the mirror See the truth in your face So how can this be? You’re praying to me As I look in your eyes I know just what that means I can be, I can be your everything I can be your whore I am the dirt you created I am your sinner And your whore But let me tell you something baby You love me for everything you hate me for I am the dirt you created I am your sinner And your whore But let me tell you something baby You love me, you want me, you need me Well I can be your whore I am the dirt you created I am the sinner And your whore But let me tell you something baby You love me for everything you hate me for (And I can be your whore) (And I can be your whore) (And I can be your whore) Let me tell you something baby You love me for everything you hate me for You love me for everything you hate me for
