Tori Amos - Playboy Mommy
from the album "From The Choirgirl Hotel"
from the album "KNDD 107.7 The End"
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 want, wanted me to be
But don't judge me so harsh little girl
So, you got a playboy mommy
But when you tell 'em my name
And you want to cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
'Cause they know your playboy mommy
But when you tell 'em my name
From here to Birmingham I got a few friends
I never was there, was there when it counts
I get my way, your'e 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 'em my name
And you want to cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
'Cause they know your playboy mommy
But you just tell 'em my name
Tell 'em my name, I got a few friends
Somewhere where the orchids grow
I can't find those church bells
That played when you died
Played Gloria
I'm talking bout Hosanah
But don't judge me so harsh little girl
You got a playboy mommy
Come home
But when you tell 'em Soldiers my name
You 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
