once upon a woman s body

Morrissey

Once upon a woman's body
You laughed too soon
And she said she would unman you

Once upon a woman's body
You gagged too soon
And she said "I'm gonna undo you"

"Don't you come running home
to unleash your tears
Me and your Daddy
we won't always be here"

Once upon a woman's body
You went soft too soon
And she said "That's Ok
I'll find someone who
isn't you"

Once upon a woman's body
You could not go through
with all of it
You can't name it
because you can't face it

"Don't you come running home
to unleash your tears
Me and your Daddy
we won't always be here"

Precious forbid!
Mercy me!
God be thanked!
Lamb sakes alive!
He has divined!
Precious forbid!
