Small

Jennifer Paige©2000

You'd always whine when I wore heels

On and on about how small it made you feel

     I should have seen it then

But you were always the clever one

Lying to me about your wife, your children

     I wonder if you missed them

     While you neglected me?

Then we'd hardly ever go out

I still couldn't figure what all the secrecy was about

     Why you were my only friend

You told my parents to leave me alone

Making "our" excuses in condescending tones

     The beginning of the end

     Of making a fool of me

 Chorus         Well, I hope you liked this body

                      Yeah, I hope you liked this flesh

                      'Cause you never touched my soul

                       And everything you though you stole

                       Was only what I gave

                       You could never do the same

                       With such a small soul

All those nights with too much wine

When you were drunk and homesick all the time

     That's when the last draw came

I tried to leave, you hit my face

You called me nothing, a disgrace

     Yelled you would not be tamed

     There's nowhere else to lay the blame

Chorus          Well, I hope you like your body

                      Yeah, I hope you like you flesh

                      'Cause you'll never touch your soul

                      For everything you've ever stolen

                      There's a step you will recede

                       From your goal

                       You'll keep your small soul
