Sovereign Woman

I was raised to be a Catholic.

I was raised to confess my sins.

But I'd lie to the Father;

Say I'd never ever do that sort of thing.

But the truth is I love it, and I can't wait to do that thing again.

Brought up to be a good girl.

Refined with self-control.

But I'm hot for teacher and I think it's time you took me to school.

'Cause I need an education and ain't that what you're supposed to do?

I'll die a sovereign woman

Dressed up in my best clothes.

With a big 'ol smile on my face

Even if it's hell I'm supposed to go.

So you put me where you want me, at least I never had to pray alone.
