Regina Spektor - Baobabs lyrics

You have tamed me

Now you must take me

How am I supposed to be

I don't have my thorns now

But I feel them sprouting

They'll grow right through, if I don't watch them

They'll grow right through, even if I watch them

And a sunset couldn't save me now

These baobabs, and baobabs, and baobabs some more

But you can't outweight fate

You have tamed me

Now you must take me

T-t-ta-t-t-ta-t-t-ta-tt-ta-t-t-ta-tt-ta-t-t-ta-t-t-ta

And I wouldn't raise my child inside the city anyway

They grow up too savvy

And they grow up too fast

And they know about buying shit

And they know about sex

And they know about investment banking

And also about brokerage burns

And they know about the numbers

And they know about the words

And they know about the bottom lines

And also about stones

And they know about careers

And about the real deals

And they all grow up

And become people's people with people skills

But you have tamed me

Now you must take me

How am I supposed to be

I don't have my thorns now

You have tamed me

Now you must take me

How am I supposed to be

I don't have my tho-or-or-or-orns
