Lioness

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I battled through the shopping mall My head was down and I was on the go When a girl faking her friendliness Held out her hand and said, "Now do you know You can save the planet with your credit card and payments once a week?" She touched my arm and called me gorgeous Now I'm sponsoring a school in Mozambique [Chorus] Look what happens when I go out on my own Without you beside me All my wisdom is suspended I shouldn't be left unattended Look what happens when you're not holding my hand And you're not there to guide me through I get blurry on th5 lines and I'm a scaredy-cat sometim5s But I'm a lioness with you [Verse 2] I drove to Victor Harbor with a six string to take strumming in the sand I woke up on my blanket when I heard a woman talking to a man They invited me to join them Though I though it was to play them my guitar And the song that they requested was a French one It was called, "M�nage � trois" [Chorus] Look what happens when I go out on my own Without you beside me All my wisdom is suspended I shouldn't be left unattended Look what happens when you're not holding my hand You're not there to guide me through I get blurry on the lines and I'm a scaredy-cat sometimes But I'm a lioness with you [Verse 3] I was sitting at the airport bar, drinking through a four hour delay And you know when you've had a few You try and talk but words get in the way I got myself together when the flight was called But stumbled at the gate And they banded me 'til the six AM I fell asleep and didn't wake until eight [Chorus] Look what happens when I go out on my own Without you beside me All my wisdom is suspended I shouldn't be left unattended Look what happens when you're not holding my hand You're not there to guide me through I get blurry on the lines and I'm a scaredy-cat sometimes But I'm a lioness with you [Chorus] Look what happens when I go out on my own Without you beside me All my wisdom is suspended I shouldn't be left unattended Look what happens when you're not holding my hand You're not there to guide me through I get blurry on the lines and I'm a scaredy-cat sometimes But I'm a lioness with you
