Tori Amos Playboy Mommy Lyrics

In my platforms, I hit the floor
Fell face down, didn't help my brain out
Then the baby came before I found
The magic how to keep her happy
I never was the fantasy of what you wanted me to be
But don't judge me so harsh little girl
So you got a playboy mommy
But when you tell them my name
You wanna cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Because they know your playboy mommy
But when you tell them my name
From here to Birmingham, I got a few friends
I never was there, was there when it counts
I get my way, you're so like me
You seemed ashamed, ashamed that I was
A good friend of American soldiers
I'll say it loud here by your grave
Those angels can't ever take my place
But don't judge me so harsh little girl
So you got a playboy mommy
But when you tell them my name
You wanna cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Because they know your playboy mommy
But when you tell them my name
You tell them my name, I got a few friends
Somewhere, where the orchids grow
I can't find those churchbells
That played when you died
Played Gloria, talkin' bout hosanah
But don't judge me so harsh little girl
So you got a playboy mommy, come home
But when you tell them soldiers my name
And cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
'Cause they know your playboy mommy
But I'll be home
I'll be home to take you in my arms
