Free As a Hawk

He's a good boy
Loves his mama
Loves Gandhi
and cheese fondue
he's a good boy
he's crazy about Ringo
loves donkeys
and his guitar, too
but I'm a bad girl
'cause I don't even miss him
I'm a bad girl
for just saying No
but I'm not a ho
'cause I'm free
free as a hawk
yeah, I'm free
free as a hawk
all the skaters
skating down Main Street
wear knee pads
for when they fall down and go boom
when the sun sets
over the sidewalk
you know I'll be
alone in my room
'cause I'm free
free as a hawk
yeah, I'm free, baby
free as a hawk
I don't want to talk
I don't want to hear your voice
I'm free choice
pro live my own fucking life
you don't need a girlfriend
you need a wife
leave me alone
don't shoot me down
I'm free
like a hawk
just stand there
and gawk.
