All These Women
Rachel Rice ©2005
(written in 1989 when I interned at a women's rape and assault center)

All these women come to you
They plead for help yet beg you
To believe there’s nothing wrong
It’s not his fault because
And his daddy used to hit him
So it’s not his fault because
I should have, should have
Must have
Have to make the bed correctly
Get the dinner done on time
And then it would have been
I should have been
I guess I have to try
If I only get it right
So never mind I guess
Thanks again but not this time
It doesn’t hurt that much
Not if I say so If I think so
Not this time.
