Two Little Girls Lyrics - Little Plastic Castle - Ani Difranco

you were fresh off the boat 

from virginia 

i had a year of new york city 

under my belt 

we met in a dream 

we were both nineteen 

i remember where we were standing 

i remember how it felt 

two little girls 

growing out of their training bras 

this little girl breaks furniture 

this little girl breaks laws 

two girls together 

just a little less alone 

this little girl cried wee wee wee 

all the way home 

you were always half crazy 

now look at your baby 

you make as much sense 

as a nursery rhyme 

love is a piano 

dropped from a fourth story window 

and you were in the wrong place 

at the wrong time 

and i don't like your girlfriend 

i blame her 

i never seen one of your lovers 

do you so much harm 

i loved you first 

and you know i would prefer 

if she didn't empty her syringes 

into your arm 

here comes little naked me 

padding up to the bathroom door 

to find little naked you 

slumped on the bathroom floor 

with my back against the wall 

while you distill your whole life 

down to a 911 call 

now you bring me your bruises 

so i can 'ooh' and 'aah' at the display 

maybe i'm supposed to make one of my famous jokes 

that makes everything okay 

or maybe i'm supposed to be the handsome prince 

who rides up and unties your hands 

or maybe i'm the furrow-browed friend 

who thinks she understands 

here comes little naked me 

padding up to the bathroom door 

to find little naked you 

slumped on the bathroom floor 

so i guess i'll just stand here 

with my back against the wall 

while you distill your whole life 

down to a 911 call
