lyrics

I know you don't think
That I'm innocent, sweet
That I'm ready to do
All wrong

But I'm telling you now
There's a child within
That's just playin' along
In a thong

You gotta be gentle
You gotta be kind
You gotta take note of
What's goin' on in my mind

I'll admit that at first
It was fun to be bad
Made me forget
I was lonesome and sad

But now I know
This is no way to play
It's black, it's not white
It's not even gray
Why did I stay?

You gotta be gentle
You gotta be kind
You gotta take note of
What's goin' on in my mind

I am not some toy to play with
You didn't find me in an ad
Oh the way you treat me day and night
Makes me really fucking mad

If you look me in the face
Deep within my eyes
Maybe you'll forget
What you want between my thighs
I'm sick of all your lies

You gotta be gentle
You gotta be kind
You gotta take note of
What's goin' on in my mind

You gotta be kind, yeah
You gotta take note of
What's goin' on in my mind,
Yeah
