Was I? Lyrics - Dreamland - Madeleine Peyroux

Sweet young thing of sixteen, thought I'd step out one night 

I longed to get the thrilling life I've missed 

I met a youth, a bit uncouth, although he seemed alright 

I knew him by the moment when we kissed 

Then I got home, next day with a swollen head 

My girlfriend asked if I'd had fun I said 

Was I drunk? was he handsome? Did momma give me hell? 

Did I get a thrill? Am I full of quiver? 

Was he rough? Did I care? Am I glad I fell? 

Every time I think of him do I shiver? 

Was he hot? And was I? And would he stand for maybe? 

He would not? Did I lie? Does he still think I'm a baby? 

If I was, am I still? Do I care? Don't be silly 

Was I drunk? Was he handsome? And did momma give me hell?

Was I drunk? Was he handsome? Did momma give me hell? 

With his hands loose as no refusin' 

Did he fight? Was I blue? Almost shamed to tell 

And I don't know yet the system he was usin' 

Well I said, stop, please, behave 

Well what's the use of breathin'? 

He said, give so I gave 

After all, what was I savin'?

Am I glad? 

Holy gee 

Have I had fun, you're askin' me? 

Was I drunk? Was he handsome? And did momma give me hell?
