เพลง Was I? (LP Version)

Was I ?- Madeleine Peyroux

Sweet young thing of sixteen

Thought I'd step out one night

I longed to get the thrilling life i've missed

I met a youth

A bit uncouth

Although he seemed alright

I knew him by the moment when we kissed

Then I got home next day with a swollen head

My girlfriend asked if i'd had fun I said

“was I drunk

was he handsome

Did momma give me hell

Did I get a thrill

Am I full of quiver

Was he rough

Did I care

Am I glad I fell

Every time I think of him do I shiver

Was he hot

And was I

And would he stand for maybe

He would not

Did I lie

Does he still think i'm a baby

If I was am I still

Do I care

Don't be silly

Was I drunk

Was he handsome

And did momma give me hell

Was I drunk

Was he handsome

Did momma give me hell

With his hands loose as no refusing

Did he fight

Was I blue

Almost shamed to tell

And I don't know yet the system he was using

Well I said stop please behave

Well what's the use of breathing

He said give

So I gave

After all what was I saving

Am I glad

Holy gee

Have I had fun you're asking me

Was I drunk

Was he handsome

And did momma give me hell”
