Money & Run

from Muscle & Skin by Hannah Fairlight

lyrics

take me out
show me off
to all your fancy friends
I'll make 'em laugh
let's see how
long I can pretend
put me on a pedestal high above them all
plenty to replace you girl if ever you should fall

you took me in
and taught me to hold my tears in
but won't you give me a moment please

take it easy while I toughen up
take it easy while I break down
make it easy while we settle up
please don't take the money
please don't take all of the money & run

don't you fret 'cause I know what I'm supposed to do
but are you my ally
or am I just a fool?
keep your wits about you child
the ice is always thin
ain't no room for innocence where only bad girls win

and where can I turn?
if I can't show my sad faces to you

take it easy while I toughen up
take it easy while I break down
make it easy while we settle up
please don't take the money
please don't take all of the money & run

but now I am wiser
and I've grown beyond the boundaries of my yesterdays
and you've made me stronger
for better or for worse in oh so many ways
but still I have to say

take it easy while I toughen up
