My Girl

(album: Shelter - 2023)

My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl

It's a man's world, my girl, my girl, my girl
We gotta poke it, haunt it, stir it and flaunt it
As the dirt falls from the mouths of hounds
That bite as you fight for your body to be nobody's but yours
Your body's nobody's but yours

Sharpen your claws, my girl
Learn to love your flaws, my girl
Don't listen to the laws that make you feel small
We're a waterfall and we fall and we fall and we fall
But I'd rather fall than never try at all

Take with you the bravest moves
Of soothsayers, bridge makers, world shakers
'Cause I'm shaking

But let's shake together
Let's shake as one
And when we stop shaking
A new world's begun

Shake for me, baby, shake for me
I wanna see you shaking
Heave for me, honey, let's heave before you're leaving
I wanna watch your heart beating

Dream for my sunny, if there's anything worth dreaming
I'll tell you all the meanings
Tell you all the meanings

But let's shake together
Let's shake as one
And when we stop shaking
A new world's begun
A new world's begun
My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl
