Sweet Lullaby Lyrics

everybody's asking me, "why you gotta be so strange?"
everybody's wondering, "why can't you be the same as them?"

I live like I want to
like how she taught me to be
and your phone number is just one thing that means nothing to me
the reason I seem so happy is simply 'cause I am
and you stare and ask me about stupid things
that I don't give a d*** about anymore

I've got my mother's hips
they're eight miles wide
they're not something that I flaunt but they're not something that I hide
you think that I'm a fool 'cause I don't wanna live your way
well, I think that you're the fool
everybody's asking me, "why you gotta be so strange?"
everybody's wondering, "why can't you be the same?"
everybody's asking me, "d*** girl, what's your name?"
and I'm sorry I just don't care to answer you
this is not my thing, to be so free with you
I learned more than I ever expected from you
you hold me at arms length and yet want me to see you through
you're laughing, I'm crying, I'm drying the tears from my eyes
and you still want me to sing you my sweet lullaby
