Sweetness and Light

A cool, pale princess

Fit to wind down the heat

Delicate ankles:

So gentle and sweet

Well, gentle and sweet

That ain't complete, boy

Gentle and sweet

Is not complete.

I know you see me

And it just ain't quite right

Something uncomfortable

Sours sweetness and light

Well, sweetness and light

Can't put up a fight, boy

Sweetness and light

Won't survive the night.

I know you're trying

To make me just right, boy

I know you're hoping

I'll become your toy

Well, being your toy

Won't satisfy me

Just being your toy

Well…

It isn't real, boy.

I need a man.

Who?

I know you want me to fight you,
But I'm sorry
There's not enough left of me
For you
To take a piece.

I know you want me to walk away,
But I'm sorry
There's not enough left of me
For you
To fold in two.

I know you think you understand,
But I'm sorry
I'm just blowing in the breeze.
And you,
You can't catch me.
