[Intro: Leonard Cohen]

O' send out the raven ahead of the dove

O' sing from your chains where you're chained in a cave

Your eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love

Your blood in my ballad collapses the grave

[Verse 1]

The only girls we've ever been

We've had pink roses in our eyes

But it's fine, we get nothing from this scene

We're just lost with red dots between our eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

I am not onе to judge

But these folks...

[Chorus]

Thеy say that I'm a 'tomboy'

But they wouldn't know the meaning of the word

They say that I'm a 'tomboy'

And I cringe like death when I hear that word

They say that I'm a 'tomboy'

And I bury my head in the depths of her shirt

She says that I'm a 'good girl'

And I loose my mind and I become her's

[Verse 2]

You help me open up and you put yourself inside

You waste away while I'm having the time of my life

But it's fine I'll be merry, I'm taking you from behind

I am known in this blister

This scene was the first time that I'd cried in so long

[Pre-Chorus]

I am not one to judge

But I feel their eyes burning into my spine

[Chorus]

They say that I'm a 'tomboy'

But they wouldn't know the meaning of the word

They say that I'm a 'tomboy'

And I cringe like death when I hear that word

They say that I'm a 'tomboy'

And I bury my head in the depths of her shirt

She says that I'm a 'good girl'

And I loose my mind and I become her's

[Coda]

I face you in the morning, you tell me you "hate me"

You never saw me, ignoring me latley

I face you in the morning, you tell me you "hate me"

You never saw me, ignoring me latley...

I miss your calling and I miss your touch

I miss your soft hands, not the way that we fucked

I miss your calling and I miss your touch

I miss your soft hands, not the way that we fucked...

Tell me your proud

Tell me your proud

Tell me your proud

Tell me your proud...

Why don't you call me 'pretty'?

Why don't you call me 'pretty'?

Why don't you ever kiss me?

I doubt you'd even miss me

Please, just call me 'pretty'

One time, just call me 'pretty'

She looks at me so different

Maybe I'm the issue

Why don't you call me 'pretty'?

Why don't you call me 'pretty'?

Why don't you ever kiss me?

I doubt you'd even miss me

Please, just call me 'pretty'

One time, just call me 'pretty'

She looks at me so different

Maybe I'm the issue...

And I'm getting pushed around

And off the deep end, my wits end is closing in

Tell us not to "make a sound"

But our bodies upset them, correct them out loud

And it's so sad to see the world agree

That they'd rather see our faces filled with flies

Oh, when I'd want to keep pink roses in our eyes

They say that I'm a 'tomboy'

But they wouldn't know the meaning of the word

They say that I'm a 'tomboy'

And I cringe like death when I hear that word

[Outro: Leonard Cohen]

I didn't fall in love

Of course, it's never up to you

But I was walking back and forth

And she was passing through
