Girl A. Girl B.

Girl A.
Girl B.
Livin' in the same house
but they've never met.
Sharin' a roof,
and a door,
and clothes,
and a man.

Girl A.
She loves sunshine
and drinkin'
and lovin' 'til it hurts.
Loves givin' and givin' and givin' 'til it's gone.
Ain't nothin' left to give.
Singin' in the shower
knows the words to ev'ry song.
Ev'ry song.
Dancin' in highheeledshoes
blisters on her toes.
But she just laughs.

Girl B.
She forgot that there's happiness to be had.
Her body touched by rough, old hands.
She's the only one who knows.
Keeps the lights off,
and the tv on,
and the sink full,
and the babies cryin'.
She loves her man but questions her man and hates her man and asks her man ahundredtimes
Why?

Girl A.
Girl B.
Passin' each other in the hall.
Not knowin'
that it's one heart that's beatin'
and the same blood pumpin'
and the same lips kissin'
the man who thinks they're the same.
