Regina Spektor - Baobabs lyrics

You have tamed me Now you must take me How am I supposed to be? I don't have my thorns now And I feel them sprouting They'll grow right through If I don't watch it They'll grow right through Even if I watch it And a sunset couldn't save me now These baobabs And baobabs And baobabs some more But you can't outwait fate And you have tamed me Now you must take me... And I wouldn't raise my child inside the city anyway They grow up too savvy and they grow up too fast And they know about buying sh** and they know about s** And they know about investment banking and also about brokerage firms And they know about the numbers and they know about the words And they know about the bottom lines and also about stones And they know about careers and about the real deals And they all grow up and become people's people with people sk**s But you have tamed me Now you must take me How am I supposed to be? I don't have my thorns You have tamed me Now you must take me How am I supposed to be? I don't have my thorns
