"She's Teaching" lyrics

She's just another ho you love
She's just another ho you love
She's teaching you how to love
She's teaching you
She's teaching

I've been hidden, I've been a witness
I've been forgiven for doing nothing wrong
For being a woman, I've been called a ho and they never even touched me
I've been called a slut just because I ain't ugly
Did I speak without stuttering or did I stutter?
Move in me like I move in you, lover
It's moving day, can't you see my thoughts are all packed up?
Like waterfalls of leftover socks and panties and a toothbrush
Looking over my shoulder, longing like the eclipse is a tongue on a sucker with my butterfly clips holding back my baby hairs with no care in the world
My mind can take you somewhere new
But you're still wearing those old Jordan shoes
My mind doesn't care what you look like
You could be the love of my life, whoever you are and it would look right

She's just another ho you love
She's just another ho you love
She's teaching you how to love
She's teaching you
She's teaching

I lay awake at night right now so I pick up my phone
I had no one to talk to, my one person wasn't even home
I'm not writing to you to tell you something that rhymes or keep you alive
I'm just writing to you because other than this, I truly am alone
In a deep, quiet abyss and when I realize that there's no one else but me in my skin and blood and bones
That's when I really start to feel good inside, like a structure in a riptide
Not built on sand, not built on hands stretched out holding me up but build on rock
