Madeleine Peyroux - Was I Lyrics
Sweet young thing of sixteenThought I'd step out one nightI longed to get the thrilling life i've missedI met a youthA bit uncouthAlthough he seemed alrightI knew him by the moment when we kissedThen I got home, next day with a swollen headMy girlfriend asked if i'd had fun I said,“was I drunk?was he handsome?Did momma give me hell?Did I get a thrill?Am I full of quiver?Was he rough?Did I care?Am I glad I fell?Every time I think of him do I shiver?Was he hot?And was I?And would he stand for maybe?He would not?Did I lie?Does he still think i'm a baby?If I was, am I still?Do I care?Don't be sillyWas I drunk?Was he handsome?And did momma give me hell?Was I drunk?Was he handsome?Did momma give me hell?With his hands loose as no refusin'Did he fight?Was I blue?Almost shamed to tellAnd I don't know yet the system he was usin'Well I said, stop, please, behave!Well what's the use of breathin'?He said, giveSo I gaveAfter all, what was I savin'?Am I glad?Holy gee,Have I had fun, you're askin' me?Was I drunk?Was he handsome?And did momma give me hell?
