Amel Larrieux - Earn My Affection lyrics

rate me

I work hard for what I got

Plenty overtime

When I clock out I’m worn and beat down

But still ready to fly

( here you come with those )

unsteady eyes

like you been looking for something you cannot find

right through me

like my fruit ain’t fit for makin’ pie

chorus

you got to

earn my affection

put your back into it

before we get this show on the road

don’t make me

lose all my self respect

I ain’t desperate yet so

come on now stop actin’ out and act like you know

you’re a beautiful mess

but every attic has a treasure

and I been known, to throw my apron on

and scrub to reveal a shine

(let the good lord have)

mercy on you

before I do

if you were in the area and just passing through

come correctly, come strong and don’t drag your good foot behind

chorus

you set a pretty table and serve me raw meat

ask me to the show but don’t save me a seat

say together we can sail, then add me to your fleet

the perfect pair of pants are ruined with the

addition-of-a-pleat

I demand a flat surface

Where I can

Firmly-plant-my-feet

And stand

It’s my democratic right to say man you should….
