I've bled to be gentle and killed to be kind
I've fought like a dog defending my mind
I've sucked out the venom, unloaded the gun, and picked out the maggots one by one

I need a man whose not afraid of me
Who understands my sensitivity
I need a man, I need an armory
Whose hard on the outside and soft just for me

Baby, can I be your baby girl?
Train me, I'm pretty quick to learn
Baby, can I be your baby girl?
Crack me wide open I'll gift you a pearl

I'm soft as a flower and bruise like a peach
You pluck off my petals until I can see
I'm safe in my suffering, small in your hands
You give my fragility a place to land

I need a man, I'm tuggin' on your sleeve
A steady hand, a guiding energy
I need a man whose not afraid to be
Stronger then I so I don't have to be

Baby, can I be your babygirl?
Train me, I'm pretty quick to learn
Baby, can I be your babygirl?
Crack me wide open I'll gift you a pearl

Baby, can I be your babygirl
Train me, I'm pretty quick to learn
Baby, can I be your babygirl
Crack me wide open I'll gift you a pearl
