Ani DiFranco › Lyrics › Origami

I am an all powerful Amazon warrior
Not just some sniveling girl
So no matter what I think I need
You know, I can't possibly
Have a need in this world

Come and come for that sweet, sweetness
I'll be your never ending vending machine
I could never need to be alone
Never need to be my own
As much as you need your queen

And I know men are delicate, origami creatures
Who need women to unfold them
Hold them when they cry
But I am tired of being your savior
And I am tired of telling you why

And since when did this me, me, me
Become the be all and end all of me
Oh, listen to you, talk to me
Long time love has got to breathe, babe
You got to let it ebb and flow
If you want a ball to bounce
You gotta let it go, just let it go

And I know men are delicate, origami creatures
Who need womens to unfold them
Hold them when they cry
But I am tired of being your savior
And I am tired of telling you why
