I realize that you may think I have it altogether
I realize that you may think I’m as firm as the rock of Gibraltar
Do you know that daily I feel like I’ve been sacrificed on the altar?
I get that you may see all that I take on and handle,
And I get that you think I’m so strong
But I promise you I too am weak and vulnerable,
That I am as tired as the day is long
I ask that you handle me with care, even when my face is unyielding
(Resting bitch face)
Try a little tenderness when interacting with me
Be as soothing as a lullaby’s song
Make me know when I feel alone
You are there for me, and in my thinking I am totally wrong
Oh she may be weary
Them young girls they do get weary
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
All you got to do is, man, hold her when you wanna
Squeeze her, don’t tease her, never leave her
You get me so well!
