Lyrics


Lyrics for version performed by Ani DiFranco on Educated Guess (#71497)

i am an all powerful amazon warrior
not just some sniveling girl
so no matter what i think i need
you know i can't possibly
have a need in this world

come and come for that sweet sweetness
i'll be your never ending vending machine
i could never need to be alone
never need to be my own
as much as you need your queen

i know men are delicate
origami creatures
who need women to unfold them
hold them when they cry
but i am tired of being your savior
and i am tired of telling you why

and since when did this me me me 
become the be all and end all of me
oh listen to you talk to me
long time love has got to breathe, babe
you got to let it ebb and flow
if you want a ball to bounce
you gotta let it go
just let it go

i know men are delicate
origami creatures
who need women to unfold them
hold them when they cry
but i am tired of being your savior
and i am tired of telling you why

Lyrics for version performed by Caren Armstrong on Everything (#132969)

If you take a paper
Smooth and clean
You can fold it into any kind of dream
Any shape's a possibility
Origami

Transformation
Is never far
Find a new perspective
Just by being where you are
On the wings of one thousand cranes
Let your dreams fly free
Origami

And with a fold or two
Light up the sky with paper moon
Pull it down and crimp it round
A paper rose will bloom
And that paper rose
Could cause a heart to beat
Origami

If you find a woman
Free and strong
Fold her with a patient hand
Before too long
You will see love increase
Geometrically
Origami Origami
