IOU - U.S. Girls

Lyrics by：Meg Remy

Composed by：Meg Remy/Rich Morel

You didn't choose to be born

And I never heard of anyone who has

I never known no baby with a plan

For how to survive how to stay alive

You shower with your silver on

And you brush you hair with a round

Brush you keep in your bag

And now I do the same it seems

Like the only whole plan

To lead a double life two chances to get it right

Hidden for a moment

But I could see it in your almost drowning face

That you don't know what's up

What's down what to do

And that's how come all those tattoos

And I'm talking about all of mine too

I O U

I O U

I do

I do

I do

I do

When my brother learned to drive

He said no car's gonna pass him by no way

Yeah he said he would cut the throat

Of anyone who tried

And that was just one of his lies

Let me tell you mine

I've never cried

One tear in my whole d**n life

And I know full well what makes

The shadows on my walls

Because I cast them there all by myself

Stay in same way

Lay a rose on my stage

And if you want my woman wet

It's like a bird building a nest give it time

If I can do it if I can do it

Then you can do it too

Objects in the mirror are so much

Closer than they appear

You went too deep into the big deep

And that's the trouble with being born

I'm going to put to bed the shame that I keep

It's the only way to stay alive

I just want to be alive

What you hide is true

God don't take sides but I do yeah

What you hide is true

God don't take sides but I do

I do I do and so do you

Stay in same way

Lay a rose on my stage

And if you want my woman wet

It's like a bird building a nest

Give it time

If I can do it if I can do it

Then you can do it too

Objects in the mirror are so much closer than they appear

And you appear
