All the men around me
have taught me to hate,
taught me to be afraid.
All I’ve learnt is to obey,
I learnt that the hard way -
Don’t fight back, keep quiet
be a good girl now.
All the men around me
have taught me to hate,
taught me to be afraid.
All I’ve learnt is to hide;
Underneath so many layers
I wasn’t sure I’d ever be seen,
But you did.
You saw me & I thought
I’d found a ‘Good one’.
But I’m starting to see
I’m just living life to repeat.
All the men around me
have taught me to hate,
taught me to be afraid.
