Sylvia, make something of your life babe
Hungry girl, devoted to the rhyme babe
Smell of sweet fig rotting under the Tuscan sun
Take a bite before the seasons over and done
Eat the anger, feed the fire
There is beauty somewhere in a memory
Put on your shoes girl, let’s go dancing
If you chose to live a beautiful life, in spite, you win
Sylvia, my will to live now is so strong
Hungry girl, been starving now for so long
I don’t know peace, though I’m trying to start to believe
This world is not an oyster for pearls like you or me
Eat the anger, feed the fire
There is beauty somewhere in a memory
Put on your shoes girl, let’s go dancing
If you chose to live a beautiful life, in spite, you win
Broad shouldered baby
Wise woman attitude
I’ve spent the last year
Picking at the same scab
Pushing in the same bruise
Broad shouldered baby
Wise woman attitude
I’ve spent the last year
Picking at the same scab
Pushing in the same bruise
Sylvia, make something of your life babe
