Versuri Gratitude

 
thank you 
for letting me stay here 
thank you for taking me in 
thank you 
for the beer and the food 
thank you 
for loaning me bus fare 
thank you for showing me around 
that was a very kind thing to do 
thank you 
for the use of the clean towel 
thank you for half of your bed 
we can sleep here like brother and sister, 
you said 
 
but you changed the rules 
in an hour or two 
and I don't know what you 
and your sisters do 
but please don't 
please stop 
this is not my obligation 
what does my body have to do 
with my gratitude? 
 
look at you 
little white lying 
for the purpose of justifying 
what you're trying to do 
I know that you feel my resistance 
I know that you heard what I said 
otherwise you wouldn't need the excuse 
 
thank you 
for letting me stay here 
thank you for taking me in 
I don't know where else 
I would have turned 
but I don't come and go 
like a pop song 
that you can play incessantly 
and then foget when it's gone 
you can't write me off 
and you don't turn me on 
 
so don't change the rules 
in an hour or two 
I don't know what you and your 
sisters do 
but please don't 
please stop 
this is not my obligation 
what does my body have to do 
with my gratitude?
