When I was a girl, I was a girl of the world
And I thought that I knew it all
I met a boy, he was just a boy toy
And he tried to put up a wall
I talked in soft voices, he made whimpering noises
And I coaxed him the best I knew how
I know you’re scared and you’re not aware
Of how this all works for realz
But just try the tip, just for a bit
To see how it feels
Many years after, I was older and less wise
And I found myself in a younger man’s eyes
He was separated, newly and sadly
He had feelings he tried to disguise
I talked in soft voices, he made whimpering noises
And I coaxed him the best I knew how
I know you’re scared and you’re not aware
Of how this all works for realz
But just try the tip, just for a bit
To see how it feels
I talked in soft voices, he made whimpering noises
And I coaxed him the best I knew how
I know you’re scared and you’re not aware
Of how this all works for realz
But just try the tip, just for a bit
To see how it feels
