Juliana Hatfield Charity Lyrics

This is my house, I welcome you in
You're p___ing on my rug, you need breaking in
And these are my words, I could teach you to read
But you won't understand, this is f___ing poetry

I gave you my best, call it charity
But maybe I guessed, that nothing is free
You would have me pay, I know jealousy
So easily read, you wish you were me

This is my baby, you can't take her away
A miracle baby, you would have them hate
You'd be a killer, if i gave you a second thought
But my baby is protected, she is loved
Don't you get it, get it

I gave you my best, call it charity
But maybe I guessed, that nothing is free
You would have me pay, for just being I
Know you but you don't know a s___ about me

This is goodbye, to sound of your ear
You are a coward, hiding behind the wall
You won't even show me your face, only words on paper
Cuz man to man you would fall

I gave you my best, it was charity
But maybe I guessed, that nothing is free
I will never pay, for just being me
You will never know, what you're missing
