Lyrics Gratitude

Thank you
For letting me stay here
Thank you
For taking me in
Thank you
For the beer and the food
Thank you
For loaning me bus fare
Thank you
For showing me around
That was a very
Kind thing to do
Thank you
For the use of the clean towel
Thank you
For half of your bed
We can sleep here like
Brother and sister you said

But you changed the rules
In an hour or two
I don’t know what
You and your sisters do
But please don’t
Please stop
This in not my obligation
When does my body
Have to do
With my gratitude

Look at you
Little white lying
For the purpose of justifying
What you are trying
To do
I know that you
Feel my resistance
I know that you
Heard what I said
Otherwise you wouldn’t need the excuse

Thank you
For letting me stay here
Thank you
For taking me in
I don’t know where else
I would have gone
But I don’ come and go
Like a pop song
You can play incessantly
And then forget once it’s gone
You can’t write me off
And you don’t
Turn me on

So don’t change the rules
In a hour or two
I don’t know what you
And your sisters do
But please don’t
Please stop
This is not my obligation
What does my body
Have to do
With my gratitude
