Ballet Slippers
She said, you have to watch me or I won't feel as beautiful she danced around the room in ballet slippers she said, you have to listen or I won't feel quite as smart she laid back in the grass, and named the stars she said I'm never as good as when you're with me I'm never as brave as when you're there I'm never more free than when I know you can see I'm never as good as when you're with me she said you have to kiss me or I won't feel quite as loved she closed her eyes and stood up straight and tried hard not to smile she said you have to hold me or I won't feel quite as safe she curled up close and stuck her nose in the side of my neck She's got issues she can't explain she's got fears she can't see she's grown comfortable with screaming my name she's only comfortable with me she said you have to watch me, or I won't feel as beautiful she danced around the room in ballet slippers Aus Songtexte Mania
