SULA (Hardcover)
Down here in the bottom there ain't no room for me
I don't wanna make no babies
I don't need a man to save me
Secondhand loneliness pass on over me
I might wanna make some babies
Runnin' outta time for waiting
Freedom and triumph, they weren't meant for me
Girls of my color, find somethin' else to be
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
Up here in the bottom you linger over me
I got all this space to fill
Something only bodies heal
Promiscuous holiness slope is slippery
I got all this time to kill
Something like a prayer to kneel to
Lay on my pillow you think I'm so weak
Soft as my skin is my power's discreet
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
Thick with birds, I met you in the dirt
Wicked burns, you left me so hurt
Thick with birds, you left me in the dirt
Sick at first, but haven't I learned
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
