Do what you should do 
to long for me to hear 
You open up your heart 
and watch my name appear 
It's a word for you to use 
a girl without a cause 
a name for what you lose 
when it was never yours 

The first time baby that I came to you 
I'd do things that you wanted me to 
The second time I came to you 
you found my love for you 
The third time I came to you 
oh I knew 
The last time I came to you 
how my flesh and blood became the word 

the girl is never real 
she stands for your abuse 
the girl is no ideal 
It's a word, a word for what you do 
in a world of broken rules 
I found a place for you 
along my chain of fools 

The first time baby that I came to you 
I'd do things that you wanted me to 
The second time I came to you 
you found my love for you 
The third time I came to you 
oh I knew 
The last time I came to you 
how my flesh and blood became the word
