I shall never shave my legs again
Though, well I know, they are prettier than my face
I once applied Nair to them and
Still fell to my disgrace
Each week I wore a new outfit
All the jewelry that I owned embraced hands and
Arms and fingers
High dollar perfume I sprayed aplenty
Hoping it would linger
Always in your memory
I washed my hair with loving care
And wore mascara too
Red lipstick never made it off my lips to you
I recited word and verse all the things I wished to say
These were relegated to lullabies
As deep in the night I'd pray
God, please let him pay attention
God, please let him see
He's not getting the best presentation
There's ever been of me
I'll never shave my legs again
It's just not worth the bother
For now I walk in the world of men
Treating each one as a brother
Dressed up or down with scarf or slip
A style that's all my own
I'll cherish my indivuality
My own impressive flair
My hairy legs I'll hide or tout
In any way I dare
I'll remember you this way
The one I cared the most about
To smooth out my two
Limbs and so
Catch your eye among the many eyes that
Must have their fill of you
I'll never shave my legs again
Unless you love me
And tell me all that never mattered anyway
