Lyrics

Meaningless

Why do you think they hide the neck? Girl, wrap scarves all around them. Because the skin around the neck ain´t going nowhere but down. Honey, so I don´t need to wake up in the morning and have him look at me, and me thinking, oh oh. I am older then him, so this may be his day that he found some little young chickakdee. And here I am, my grays are is coming in.

So I get bald because I´m trying to dye it to please this man, and excercizing to the point I´m going to have a heart attack. No thank you. No thank you. And then gotta be wearing a hat because the hair done fell off. And got nothing to connect the wig to. So there for I am balder than bald. A hat will do but that´s what rubs the rest of my bald scalp.

You know what I mean. I have been in Bellevue before, you know, and don´t want to go there a gain, so theres need to find no man younger than me.. So I find what I am, and I´m old old, I´t only meaningless.

So the laidlord is at your door, asking for his rent while your friends pick you up off the floor. Okay Okay Okay Okay. Life is so meaningless, no one to share your thoughts, so meaningless. I´ts so meaningless.

Wait a minute, My rent is due too. You know, yes. So, see fine don´t pay the rent, that´s the problem. fine don´t pay the rent. so he´gett up in my face one of these days, when my rent is due. so he has to be contributing he has to. If he thinks he gonna just lay up in my bed like some damm maniqin Oh no. Boodie that comes a dime a dozen, I can get that anywhere, I´m I can find that anywhere. I can stand at the bus. It´s like waiting for a bus and watch that boodie go by. I don´t need no fine boodie. I need an old gray-haired, rich man who is tired of living. Girl that´s what I need.

What I need is my rent paid. Or something that will make you forget real fast. Yes that´s what I need. Yes that´s what I need. Do you believe this, I´m sitting up here, looking at him, looking at me, looking at him and his body.

I said hey honey you can come over here any time on your way back, any time. What do you mean on his way back. He was getting ready to go in the bathroom. Why don´t you get up and follow him? Do I look like a dog to you?
