Playboy Mommy - Tori Amos

In my platforms

I hit the floor

I fell face down

it didn’t help my brain out

Then the baby came

before I found

the magic highs

to keep her happy

I never was the fantasy

of what you want

wanted me to be

Don’t judge me so harsh little girl

so, you got a playboy mommy

Yeah, well, you just tell those soldiers my name

From here to Birmingham I got a few friends

I never was there, was there when it counts

You get my way

you’re so like me

'seemed ashamed

ashamed that I was

a good friend of American soldiers

I’ll say it loud here by your grave

those angels can’t

ever take my place

Don’t judge me so harsh little girl

so, you got a playboy mommy

Yeah, well, you just tell those soldiers my name

You want to cross that

Bridge all on your own

Little girl they’ll do you no harm

'cause they know

your playboy mommy

You just tell 'em my name

I got a few friends

Somewhere where the orchids grow

I can’t find those church bells

that played when you died

they played Gloria

we’re talkin' bout

Hosannah

Don’t judge me so harsh little girl

So, you got a playboy mommy

Yeah, well, you just tell those soldiers my name

You want to cross that

Bridge all on your own

Little girl they’ll do you no harm

'cause they know

your playboy mommy

Well, I’ll be home

Yes, I’ll be home

to take you in my arms
