“Desire doesn’t know it’s wrong”

Song: “Records” by Lilly Hiatt (slightly modified)

“

I’m 40, I feel 23

Got no husband thanks to me

I just wanna rock’n’roll

Scream out my lungs and bury the soul

I’m often lonely but I’m also free

It’s never how I thought it’d be 

But that record waited up for me

That record waited up for me

Six years ago, hope was nothing much 

Waking up to a stranger’s touch 

I gave up a lot just to be free

That record still hung on to me

I’m often lonely but I’m also free

It’s never how I thought it’d be 

But that record waited up for me

That record waited up for me

Looking out a window pane 

Wondering why I still feel the same

… 

… 

I saw that boy I loved so hard

He passed me in his pick-up truck 

Desire doesn’t know it’s wrong

So I came home and put the record on

I heard the backbeat 

I sank into the groove

And suddenly I wasn’t worried about him

I turned it up so loud 

That it buzzed my ears 

And that ok cuz I’m the only one here

I’m often lonely but I’m also free

It’s never how I thought it’d be 

But that record waited up for me

That record waited up for me
