Talk to Me Now - Ani DiFranco

He Said Ani, You’ve Gotten Tough

'cause My Tone Was Curt

Yeah, And When I’m Approached In A Dark Alley

I Don’t Lift My Skirt

In This City

Self-preservation

Is A Full Time Occupation

I’m Determined

To Survive On This Shore

You Know I Don’t

Avert My Eyes Anymore

In A Man’s World

I Am A Woman By Birth

And After Nineteen Times Around I Have Found

They Will Stop At Nothing Once They Know What You Are Worth

Talk To Me Now

I Played The Powerless

In Too Many Dark Scenes

And I Was Blessed With A Birth And A Death

And I Guess I Just Want Some Say In Between

Don’t You Understand

In The Day To Day

And The Face To Face

I Have To Act

Just As Strong As I Can

Just To Preserve A Place

Where I Can Be Who I Am So If You Still Know How

Talk To Me Now
