Ani Difranco - Talk To Me Now Lyrics
He said ani, youve gotten toughcause my tone was curtYeah, and when Im approached in a dark alleyI dont lift my skirtIn this citySelf-preservationIs a full time occupationIm determinedTo survive on this shoreYou know I dontAvert my eyes anymoreIn a mans worldI am a woman by birthAnd after nineteen times around I have foundThey will stop at nothing once they know what you are worthTalk to me nowI played the powerlessIn too many dark scenesAnd I was blessed with a birth and a deathAnd I guess I just want some say in betweenDont you understandIn the day to dayAnd the face to faceI have to actJust as strong as I canJust to preserve a placeWhere I can be who I amSo if you still know howTalk to me now
