When you walk into a room

open the door first

the walls can't take

another hit


I have pain again

It's not the same thing

I have pain again

that leaves a stain


My mother didn't know

good girls from bad

even when she was

one or the other


I have pain again

against the grain

I have pain again

upping the strain


My reputation led

a sad boy to my bed

but I'm no slouch

I slept on the couch


I have pain again

in the pouting rain

I have pain again

under a different name


When you ask me

anything

don't expect me

to think


I have pain again

I have pain again

I have pain again

and now so do you!
