My good looks won't save my kids   From their dad's predicament   They won't see my face like this   See my face as a shadow      I could be wrong   Or I could be strong      The penny-rate my love collects   Could set your ass on fire   Instead of praying thankful hallelujahs   On the wire   You turn on your radio regardless   As you start your car   But baby don't believe it   When he tells you who you are      He could be wrong and   You could be strong   You're finding out you're selfish   Because you like your happiness   Don't sacrifice it to the average   Keep it for yourself      They'll buy your butterflies   And price them down   To clean the racks   Until a kid like you   Can buy them back      I could be wrong   Or I could be strong
