I'm The Girl lyrics

I've got a memory a thousand years old
And I know secrets I've never been told
And I've got jewels I haven't found
And they'll return me to the ground

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me

And I'm a siren, I'll wreck you on my shores
And I'm Godiva, I'll call you back for more
And I'm Medusa, and I'm your favourite doll
And I'm a Georgia O'Keeffe hanging on your wall

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me

I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before

And I remember being born just
Sound and light and sound and light
And I remember the first time,
skin on skin in the arms of the night
Well, how many times have we looked up into the starry skies
and how many times have we felt the passion rise

Every ruby-lipped girl baby
old lady, squaw junkie, girl after girl after girl
every muse, whore, good witch
princess, back arching, year after year after year

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me

I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter
the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before
