Talk To Me Now Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Talk To Me Now Lyrics

    he said ani, you've gotten tough
    'cause my tone was curt
    yeah, and when I'm approached in a dark alley
    I don't lift my skirt
    in this city
    self-preservation
    is a full time occupation
    I'm determined
    to survive on this shore
    you know I don't
    avert my eyes anymore
    in a man's world
    I am a woman by birth
    and after nineteen times around I have found
    they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth
    talk to me now
    I played the powerless
    in too many dark scenes
    and I was blessed with a birth and a death
    and I guess I just want some say in between
    don't you understand
    in the day to day
    and the face to face
    I have to act
    just as strong as I can
    just to preserve a place
    where I can be who I am
    so if you still know how
    talk to me now
