rate me

[ music: john lombardo/lyric: natalie merchant ]<br><br><br>One time<br>You made me cry<br>Be proud that i<br>Remember<br><br>My chin is sore<br>The bruise is gone<br>But the spot is tender<br><br>Gave my hand a sister coy<br>To cotton alley where<br>You did enjoy<br>Your wicked games<br>You curious boy<br><br>Tied my laces up together<br>When I fell<br>You laughed<br>Until your belly was sore<br><br>In the brick laid aisle behind<br>The five and dime store<br><br>That's how<br>I made you blush<br>But doubt if you<br>Remember<br><br>Were my tears genuine<br>Or those of a skilled<br>Pretender<br><br>Nothing precious<br>Plain to see<br>Don't make a fuss over me<br>Not loud<br>Not soft<br>But somewhere in between<br>Say sorry<br>Let it be<br>The word you mean<br><br>I was a little pest who<br>Never took a hint<br>Could never<br>Take a hint<br><br>You pinched my fingers<br>In a door<br>Tossed my coloring book in a<br>Rusty barrel<br><br>Pulled spiders from my hair<br>Fingers in the door<br><br>My favorite blue blouse<br>Stained on the back<br>Running from a berry war<br><br>Can you hear me scream<br>In cotton alley<br>Scream in cotton alley<br>In cotton alley
