The Whore Inside

"Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go

You have made my life complete, and I love you so

Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled

For my darling, I love you, and I always will"

You will, but you'll love your version of me

Because she's the perfect I can't be

She's got the body, the face, the beauty

And she's the one running barefoot in your dreams

Because she's got so much potential

And I know this is intentional,

I'm a tease, I'll ease your mind a little

I'll tell you right now I can make you want me

I can be innocent, a schoolgirl with braids

But if you need some shameless sex, I can be a maid

I can be your nurse, I'm really good at anatomy

And I'm good at kissing your problems away, you see

I'm the inner whore, just trying her hardest to escape

This jail I've been imprisoned in, I'm tired of this pain

These kryptonite bars trying to keep me contained

But you can't oppress me forever, because we belong together

The whore and the virgin, put in the same body

Now who's gonna win, who gets control of the scenery?

I'm gonna be the campion here

I'm gonna take over here

Because this woman I'm occupying, she's not perfect

And all she wants is to be beautiful, perfect

And I can make that happen, at least in her head

Because men like her size, her naivety, leading her to the bed

And she's just too good to realize they don't want to lie there
They don't wanna cuddle, they wanna pull her hair
Bite her, hurt her, scratch her, bruise her
They want to make her not remember her
Because if she's beautiful, she's got standards
So I step in and make sure this woman learns
How men are to be taken down, how to feel loved
Though love doesn't exist, I've convinced her of that
All she wants is to find someone that makes her wanna stop
She wants to stop, but she can't find the brakes at the top
Of the mountain, cascading down the slope
And she wants it to end, so she can go slowly
But she's falling so fast, so she begs for my help
And I'm a good friend, so I take over and help
Her fall, so she falls to her knees
And opens her mouth
She does what she's told, she doesn't know
He actually cares, he really wants more
And she doesn't care, because he's got what she needs
And she hates this addiction, because it feeds
Her, and she wants to starve, so I starve her
While he feeds her, but he just wants to love her
He wants to make her his everything, he loves her
He's convinced she's perfect, and he tells her he loves her
But she doesn't believe in love anymore, and he loves her
So she lets me take over, so I do
Just shed some clothes, show some skin
Don't worry, love, I'll let you in
I've already been violated, so I can sin again
It's okay, I'm in charge now,
So you can do what you want
But he does nothing, so I have to
I have to make this physical, to avoid the emotions
Because they get all tangled, all jumbled up, confused
And she would much rather know she's being used
Than think this is love when it's only lust and sex
Nothing more, her dreams on the subject
Are done, when I take over
Because love doesn't exist, and I'm here forever
For her, forever, together, inseparable
So I make it possible to both win
And I let him have a taste of her skin
He loves her tenderly, loves her sweet
But she's not responding, her heartbeat's
Gone like the wind in the open car window
Gone with the breath of her cigarette smoke
But he loves her, and she's falling
She's so scared, and she's calling me again
So I take over, the inner whore
