Pearl Of A Girl Lyrics - Singles - Kristeen Young

I never knew I was a girl 

until they stooped to tell me. 

I never knew I was disturbed 

until they dropped three volumes on me. 

But in the Bible/Torah/Quran 

there are really no good roles for me 

except concubine and wash woman. 

I used to be the sad one 

now I just want to stab them 

it's so severe, 

it's brutal. 

My ruffian girl 

rough, gruff 

na na na nuff, I know 

it's so severe. it's brutal 

They've needed to have the law 

so they can legally bind us. 

They've needed to have the church 

so they can morally ground us. 

They've needed most of the dough 

they must be so scared of us. 

So their stories are of ghosts. 

I only wish the virgin would've had an abortion. 

So composed, it's so severe. 

In repose but it's so severe. 

You're so calm but it's so severe.
