Meshell Ndegeocello - Mary Magdalene Lyrics

I often watch you, the way you whore yourself
you're so beautiful
(flirting)
enviously - I wish you'd flirt with me
perhaps I'm enticed by what you are
I imagine us jumping the broom, its foolish I know
cause that's not the life you live, you live alone, in a crowded bed
never remembering faces, conversations;
just a body for the lonely
spend one night with me, satisfy me for free,
and I'll love you endlessly
you always tell them that you'll give them what they want,
so give me what I want
tell me I'm the only one
I want to marry you
tell me I'm the only one you need

in a harlot's dress you wear the smile of a child
with the faith of Mary Magdalene, yet you wash the feet of unworthy men
come, and I'll set you free into an endless valley of fruits both sweet and sour
and whatever displeases your palate, my kisses will wash away
(stay)
if you must dance, dance for me
blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God
so close your eyes and dream
for the world will blind you
and I'll judge not, so that I may not be judged
give me what I want
tell me I'm the only one
I want to marry you
tell me I'm the only one you need
