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 wanna take 
and I'm just gonna take 
I'm gonna take 
and I'm gonna go away
