Lyrics
What Are You?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What are you waiting for / if not for me
What are you waiting for / it must be me
To take you over my knee
And spank you mercilessly
I can do that / oh you'll see
And everyday will be like free
And sleep / adventure you will see
And I'll have and you'll have me
On a bench / with your twisted fingers in me
In the rain / with my sundress torn off of me
Sliding down grassy slopes / where we can be alone
You say I am evil / You know that I'm stupid
I don't appear given / And I don't appear lucid
Yet I give you all
The truth is / I give you everything
