Me'Shell Ndeg - Mary Magdalene

I often watch you the way you whore yourself
You're so beautiful
You flirt and tease enviously I wish you'd flirt with me
Perhaps I'm enticed by what you are
I imagine us jumpin' the broom foolish I know that's not the life you live
You live alone in a crowded bed never remembering faces
Conversations just a body for the lonely
Spend one night with me satisfy me for free and I'll love you endlessly
I overheard you say you'd give them what they wanted
So give me what I want

Tell me I'm the only one
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one

In a harlot's dress you wear the smile of a child with the faith of
Mary Magdalene
Yet you wash the feet of unworthy men
