Abortable Adoption

 


You were your new mamma’s joy
For a couple of minutes
Then the fertility drugs kicked in 
The biological girl
Said you were gonna be punished,
So you might as well sin

And now you’re out the door
In the pouring rain
And you swear that you
Will never be back again
But you’re still in town
In the local jail
Because the mom you knew
Decided to turn you in

When you went to the store to
Buy instant love,
But it cost too much
So you stole it

Well you can never pick favorites
Between who’s been inside
But that adoption could be aborted
If she doesn’t say it
You still know what she’s thinking
From the facial books you’ve read

And now you’re on the way
Hope your boyfriend’s home 
But he doesn’t want
The thing that you need the most
And you’re on the road
In a stolen car
Wearing stolen shoes
That won’t walk you very far

And you went to the store to 
Buy instant love,
But it cost too much
So you stole it
