“I love the word no for its prudence”
I love the word no for its cautiousness?
I hate the word no
It never works
I hate the word no for not being powerful enough to have people understand that no is no.
“Can I have your number?”
No.
“Can I give you mine?”
No.
“What’s your name?”
I said go away.
“Too bad you’re underage, if not I’d give you my number.”
Too bad I’m underage?
I was only 16 when you decided I was a piece of meat
I was only 16 when you decided you could subtract your minor losses and return to your childhood too
I was only 16 when you made me your crosswalk signal
Too bad I’m underage?
We’re old enough to get harassed but not old enough to receive a phone number
We’re old enough to get harassed but not old enough to buy our own damn Rated R ticket?
Lonesome I was in a world of 7.5 billion
Lonesome I was after being asked what I was wearing
Lonesome I was after the jealousy a male carried
Lonesome I am on the streets living in fear that I won’t ever leave
Yes, baby, I’m lonesome, and I hate the word no.
