LILITH

Your fears are what you try to hide
When you hold your head up in pride
And you hope no one looks in your eyes
Afraid they’ll call your bluff.

You play coquette with such finess
And tease and make them second guess
But too embarrassed to confess
You like it really rough.

So what would Lilith say
If she were here today?
When you don’t have the strength to say
You like it and you feel no shame
Would she shake her head and walk away?
What would Lilith say?

Judgmental in your worldly views
So afraid to face the truth
But so desperate to set them loose
Oh, all your fantasies.

So what would Lilith say
If she were here today?
When you don’t have the strength to say
You like it and you feel no shame.
Would she shake her head and walk away?
Oh what would Lilith say?

Just call me whore or call me Mother
But I am unlike any other
And I will be a witty lover
With sensuality
‘cause it’s my favorite part of me.

So what would Lilith say
If she were here today?
When you don’t have the strength to say
You like it and you feel no shame
Oh, what would Lilith say
As she walks away?
