“Look ma, I made it on Broadway /// a singing fever” khatoon hazara ||| 12:51am sun. 4.21.19

*deep breath*

*walks on stage, closes in on mic*

*jazz melody starts*

*Broadway vocals*

You said I made a dent in your skin

Told me I’d never think to begin

Said I was as lazy as a dog

But I’m quite literal

And quite metaphorical

And quite

Done 

I’m not giving up what I got

And I’m not going to the pound to drop it off

I’m never gonna go to the cops

Coz you got nothing on me

Got no dirt on me

And I did nothing wrong

You said I was a fool

I’d never feel love the way that you do

You said my way was the ways of the public

Said my ways blended in with the Americans

I never once told you anything 

That could’ve made ya get mad at me

Or did I

And if I did

I apologize

Please accept my sorrows

And my sorry

And my plea

To cancel off any wars I’ve started

Oh just take me

For who I am 

And you said that’s not my daughter

Well then I’d guess I better get along... quick, to the car and drive... quick to the house and try to forget you ever were a part of this

I’m not sane

Who ever told you that, king

Who ever told you that, boy

Who ever told ya

Who could ever tell ya

I’m keeping it real

I love the way that you feel

When it’s dark out 

And we got our own lights

And we’re under the sheets

Man, I just can’t understand why

All of these other guys try

Their hardest just to please me

Coz I only got one thing on my mind and it ain’t any one of them

Oh, I’ve tried very hard to keep me off their prying eyes

But see

It’s very very hard to be me

It’s very very hard to disagree

When I say

I could’ve turned out any other way than the way I turned out to be

And my guy

Is a fighter

My guy

You could hardly call him a liar

Oh but he does make good content

He fills me with joy

Only when I want

And only when I say

He could make me feel

Any other way 

But only if I want

And

Only if I say 

Just a little bit of pepper

And a little bit of honey 

Oh, just try and tell me

I’m not something 

And grind it in your heart why don’t ya do

Coz I’d never fall

For anybody else but

I would never fall in love

With a stranger

The only guy for me is

The guy that’d die for me and

I would die for him so

I guess

You could say

In any other world

In any other way

The only man I’d love

Goes by the name of J

But if we’re being human 

In truth we’re only human 

And if we’re being human 

He would go by ________

*jazzy melody ends*
