A GIRL CALLED IVY

A girl called Ivy

Is walking somewhere

With her head down

Absent minded

Ivy

What have you done

Have you hurt yourself

Or someone else

            Well, have you?

A girl called Ivy

Has got a sister

Older sister

Clean and sober

Ivy

You’re a beauty

Don’t be sorry

And feel blue

            I want you

            I want every part of you

            I want you

            I want every word from you

            I want you.

A girl called Ivy

Hides her feelings

Wears dark glasses

And never smiles

Ivy

Are you glad to see me

Don’t you like me

Tell me the truth

            I want you

            I want every part of you

            I want you

            I want every word from you

            I want you

            I could steal and kill for you

            I want you

            I’ve got nothing else to do

            I want you

            I would live and die for you

            I want you

            So why don’t you want me too?

            I want you, I want you.

(M. Petrak)
