Lyrics: Playboy Mommy
Album: Tales Of A Librarian
Artist: Tori Amos
 

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

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 when it counts
I get my way
You’re 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

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
I got a few friends

Somewhere where the orchids grow
I can’t find those church bells
That played when you died
Played Gloria
Talkin ’bout Hosanah

Don’t judge me so harsh little girl
So you got a Playboy mommy
Come home
But when you tell those soldiers my name
And 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
