Damaged Goods
The best of all that money could buy
You gave my brother, sister and I
Blue collar work and sacrifice
Love is always worth the price
---------------------------------------------
Don the uniform, time to say bye
Afraid and uncertain, ready to cry
Buck up, be strong, your best advice
And love is always worth the price
---------------------------------------------
Hard to be brave when you are shy
New place, new faces and no ally
Nuns with stern frowns, eyes like ice
Don’t tell me love is worth the price
---------------------------------------------
Tight ship was steered with a lie
Bad child turned into a butterfly
Turned my stomach over twice
Don’t tell me love is worth the price
--------------------------------------------
Surprise attack when dare to defy
Crack of a ruler, who, where, nearby
Pain in my gut, the fear I excise
Don’t tell me love is worth the price
--------------------------------------------
Bad, bad, boy the teacher did imply
Thrashed in the locker, afraid he'd die
Epilepsy it seems was his only vice
Don’t tell me love is worth the price
---------------------------------------------
No one to believe, you must comply
Uniform, nuns and church belie
Their sinister, secret holding device
Don’t tell me love is worth the price
---------------------------------------------
Truth, someday, once met with a sigh
Promises broken no way to deny
Damage control will not suffice
Don’t tell me love is worth the price
---------------------------------------------
