Thalia

I've been wandering
Filching and squandering
Treating mother nature like a two-dollar whore,
But she kissed me on the lips and she said,
"This time it's different," and I'm
Not nobody's baby any more.

Somebody loves me, never mind who,
It could be just me, or it just might be you, I'm stealing
Out of the jungle and into the zoo.
Somebody cares about the trouble I've been through,
Somebody loves me, never mind who.

I've been jetsum on
Life's choppy waters like a
Soggy scrap of parchment with an X to mark the spot
But she wrapped me in her arms and called me,
"pirate treasure," and I'm
Not all alone any more.

Somebody loves me, never mind who,
It could be just me and it just might be you,
No more slipping and sliding, I'm sticking like glue,
Somebody loves me and she wants to love you, too,
Somebody loves me, never mind who.
