Lyrics

(Man: Um, madam
Woman: I enjoy your show and I've been trying to get through for quite a while
Man: Well, we're glad you kept trying
Woman: Um, I have this problem. Last July, I was assaulted... sexually, and ever since then, I cannot sleep, I've been having trouble sleeping
Man: How old are you?
Woman: I'm 22 going on 23.)

(Woman: Well, they told me, when I have these bad dreams, to try and put endings on the, the dreams, like I come out a winner. But every time I try to do that, I just...can't get anywhere. It seems that I keep having the same dream over and over again and...I had one again tonight, and this is why I'm up so late.)
(2nd Woman: And I watch one soap opera a day. And if he happens to walk in the house, I'm paranoid. I just jump up and turn off the TV. Because he says, "Is that all you're gonna do all day, just sit around and watch TV?" And I love to travel, so I've mentioned traveling to him. And finances are no problem. And he says that he did all the traveling that he wanted to do while he was in the service.)
