Growing A Girl Lyrics

So worn out
if you keep pushing me from seed to shoot
I'll be so tired that I can't take root
no, I can't take root
Then you put me in a darkened room, too much water, hardly any food,
I'm afraid that's where I draw the line
that's not how you treat a girl of my kind...
no, not of my kind

Then someone kindly turned on the lights.
It's like I'm in some kind of a dream
where all I see's reflections of me...
is all I really wanted to see

Then you put me on a rotating plate,
like the ones you find in your microwave
it helps ensure that I get enough light,
but it make's me quite dizzy
All of my days...
of 18 hours or more
and all of my nights,
I sit here getting bored.

(Instrumental)

Got this feeling in a month or so
you're really gonna let me down
hang me from the ceiling upside down...
and sell me to all your friends!
Well, I'm afraid that's where I draw the line
despite the fact it makes a real big mess
I'm screaming "No"!
but all you hear is "Yes."
All these words inside I can't express.

All of my days...
of 18 hours or more
and all of my nights,
I sit here getting bored.

Then you put me in a darkened room,
too much water,
hardly any food
I'm afraid that's where I draw the line
that's not how you treat a girl of my kind...
no, not of my kind.
