Letter To A John Lyrics - Out Of Range - Ani Difranco

Don't ask me why I'm crying 

I'm not going to tell you what's wrong 

I'm just gonna sit on your lap 

For five dollars a song 

I want you to pay me for my beauty 

I think it's only right 

'cause I have been paying for it 

All of my life 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

And I'm gonna go away 

We barely have time to react in this world 

Let alone rehearse 

And I don't think I'm better than you 

But I don't think that I'm worse 

Women learn to be women 

And men learn to be men 

And I don't blame it all on you 

But I don't want to be your friend 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

And I'm gonna go away 

I was eleven years old 

He was as old as my dad 

And he took something from me 

I didn't even know that I had 

So don't tell me about decency 

Don't tell me about pride 

Just give me something for my trouble 

'cause this time, it's not a free ride 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

I'm gonna take the money I make 

And I'm gonna go away 

Don't ask me why I'm crying 

I'm not going to tell you what's wrong 

I'm just gonna sit on your lap 

For five dollars a songs 

I want you to pay me for my beauty 

I think it's only right 

'cause I have been paying for it 

All of my life 

Now I just want to take 

And I'm just gonna take 

I'm gonna take 

And I'm gonna go away
