Measure Of Me

Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls

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
