“Once Upon A Woman’s Body”

words Morrissey / music Jesse Tobias

Once upon a woman’s body, you laughed too soon and she said she would unman you.
Once upon a woman’s body, you gagged too soon and she said “I’m gonna undo you”
“Don’t you come running home to unleash your tears me and your Daddy we won’t always be here” 
Once upon a woman’s body, you went soft too soon and she said “that’s OK - I’ll find someone who… isn’t you”
Once upon a woman’s body, you could not go through with all of it you can’t name it because you can’t face it
“Don’t you come running home to unleash your tears me and your Daddy we won’t always be here” 
precious forbid! mercy me! god be thanked! lamb sakes alive! he has divined! precious forbid!
