She wanted More
When necessities were pressing in upon her
She contemplated loving as a Madame does,
But for the sake of her name, she wanted more.
When debts went unpaid and needs unfulfilled
Why not,Why not, it could pay the bills.
When promised love had turned it's head
left her standing with zero
The thoughts of making ends meet were tempting.
But for the sake of her name, she wanted more.
When no recourse could be found
She fell to her knees and cried.
While resting on her thighs,she might even find comfort,
But for the sake of her name, she wanted more.
