Did I Mention

from Make It Mine by Heather Pierson

lyrics

I knew a woman once who collected
Other people's mistakes
And with her voodoo magic
She could make them all her own
You wouldn't want to cross her
'Cause one look could burn you at the stake
Is it any wonder that this woman ended up alone?
Lived her life in a bottle, paranoia at full throttle
Sitting by the phone, waiting for her little girl
To come home
Yeah, did I mention she had a little girl?

And I knew a man who loved that woman crazies and all
He never said a word, he kept it all bottled up in his jaw
Like a dog frothing at the mouth
And kept at her beck and call
The way she unleashed it was the craziest thing
That you ever saw

Backed that girl into a corner
And she said it was only to warn her
That mama's never wrong
Even when she's passed out and gone
Yeah, did I mention she had a little girl?

I knew a woman once with a twinkly eye
And a quick and easy smile
Every day was Christmas
And every night was like a dream
Whenever she spoke, strangers stopped -
Enchanted and beguiled
But someone else knew better
That all was not as it seemed
Someone whose heart was broken
Someone who had never spoken
Up at all before, just a a shy and timid little girl
Yeah, did I mention that I was that little girl?
