lyrics

Pathetic
WORDS and MUSIC by Bettina Johnson
Produced by David Waehner – DW Productions, Atlanta

I try to pass you on the stairs
You always block my way
Lean down and whisper in my ear
Come play
I’d go never say no

We’d go to your place and I stay
In chains you had your way
And I would crawl across the floor to you
Let you do anything you wanted to

A woman in love
Like a junkie in need
It can’t be love
Love don’t let your heart bleed
You use my body
You own my soul
Snap your fingers I come running
I lost control

So what does that make me?
What does that make me?
What does that make me?
Oh, oh, oh

You cheated I’d stay
I looked the other way
Put up with all your lies
It’s true
Now my heart’s broken
Over you

A woman in love
Like a junkie in need
It can’t be love
Love don’t let your heart bleed
You use my body
You own my soul
Snap your fingers I come running
I lost control

So what does that make me?
What does that make me?
What does that make me…oh oh oh

You are forever gone
A voice in the wind
Just a memory of my past sins
And if you were to come to me on your knees
I’d turned away
I’d say no

So what does that make me?
What does that make me?
What does that make me?
Oh, oh, oh
