Adam And Eve Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Adam And Eve Lyrics

    tonight you stooped to my level
    i am your mangy little whore
    you are trying to find your underwear
    and then your socks and then the door
    and you're trying to find a reason
    why you have to leave
    i know it's 'cuz you think you're adam
    and you think i'm eve

    you rhapsodize about beauty
    and my eyes glaze
    everything that i love is ugly
    i mean really, you would be amazed
    just do me a favor
    it's the least that you can do
    just don't treat me like i am
    something that happened to you

    i am truly sorry about all this

    you put a tiny pinprick
    in my big red balloon
    and as i slowly start to exhale
    that's when you leave the room
    i did not design this game
    i did not name the stakes
    i just happen to like apples
    and i am not afraid of snakes

    i am truly sorry about all this
    i envy your ignorance
    i hear that it's bliss

    so i let go of the ratio
    of things said to things heard
    and i leave you to your garden
    and the beauty you preferred
    and i wonder what of this
    will have meaning for you
    when you've left it all behind
    i guess i'll even wonder
    if you meant it
    at the time
