lyrics

I'm not allowed to fall in love
I'm not allowed to be caressed and kissed and hugged
For if I do it may take away my soul
For if I do I may degrade to play the pretty girl's role

So imagine a set of sheets without a lover's scent
And a body that is stiff uptight and ready to repent
And be thankful for your partner who supports what you do. And just know that there are those who don't have love like you do.

I'm not allowed luxuries
I can't savor select flavors, delicate cuisine
For if I do it may take away my soul
Can't run my fingers through the fibers of a rabbit fur

So be glad for the riches on your back
And just know that there are those who don't have what you have
And be thankful for the clatter in your coin purse
'Cause your situation easily could be much worse

I'm not allowed to see my little girl
Someone else is gonna bring her up into the world
I'm not allowed to see birthday parties, graduation
Somebody more mature will see her through her maturation

So be glad for the laughter in your living room
And just know that your child came from another woman's womb
And be thankful for the privilege to partake in life
And just know that in a perfect world your child would still be mine
