Indigo Girls Measure Of Me Lyrics

The boy he thinks I'm damaged goods
I know he does and I guess he should
I dress like him and I take him down
He gets embarrassed when his friends come around

I can get the girl
But the boys just laugh
I can get the girls
But the boys just laugh

So this is a measure of me
Even though it shouldn't be
The lion lays down with the lamb
But I can't do it so I ain't worth a damn

I can get the girls
But the boys just laugh
I can get the girls
But the boys just laugh at me

Come on now graceful I want you to be
Come on now social
I said I want you to be
Come on now special
I I want you to be
I want you to be

I the virgin in the woods
Tell me now if they are good

Is it the boys who needed me
I am you and you set it free

I get the girls
But the boys just laugh
I get the girl
But the boys he laughs at me

I said this is the measure of me
And even though it shouldn't be
The lion lays down with the lamb
Yeah but I can't do it and I ain't worth a damn
