lilly - mercedes lackey lyrics

[verse 1]
“i’m no better than i should be”**so say the village wives
my mother was just like me when she was still alive
i’m grant a man my favors for a token or a prize
but it’s the men who tell their women lies
it’s the men, not me, who should apologize

[verse 2]
the man my mother married taught me all there was to know
i was only five or six when we first played hide or show
when i was twelve what mother knew, she no longer could ignorе
but she loved the man shе married**so ’twas i was out the door!

[verse 3]
it’s the dirty family secret that everybody knows
it was shouted from the porch when mum and i came near to blows
so i work as cook and barmaid down at the village inn
where my reputation mocked me as “easy to win
if a man should have a liking for sin”

[verse 4]
the army that’s invaded might be cold barabarians
but no matter where it comes from, it’s an army full of men
and better i should catch their eyes than let those cold eyes roam
to the pretty little daughters of the folk of errold’s grove
[verse 5]
“i’m no better than i should be,” or so i’ve heard them say
but i’ve earned the gold i’m wearing and i’m leaving here today
to a place where i could start out fresh; my new life will begin
where i’ll be known for the delicious food cooked at lilly’s inn
and i’ll never be a prize a man can win, not again!
no i’ll never be the prize a man can win!
