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 gone
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?
