Your days of going through a phase
are finally lashing back at you
there`s more to shut up and ignore
but there`s even less and less to do
and there`s nothing to say, and they`re looking away
what have you got yourself into?
One little miss apprehension got you
now they`re lining up around the block
to watch you screw yourself up
for this bitter cup, which pains you the most
when it`s too late to say you`re sorry
and pretend that it`s a toast-- Naomi
You struggle with the reality myth
when you`re talking on the tv screen
about choke chains and mary janes
in Seventeen Magazine
and you`re thinking of your JC Penny lingerie
that nobody has ever seen
No one understands your comments
or why you`re so obsessed with undergarments
from multi-cultured pearl to Glamour girl
took less than a day
and your Wonderbra world of Disney
was just a make-over away
Naomi, it`s just a matter of time
What`s that they`re saying now?
Oh wow, she looks good in tears
that you can`t allow
but now you haven`t looked this young in years
You look sweet walking down the street
but no one`s even slowing down
they can`t decide, should they offer you a ride
or the head of Helen Gurley Brown
Naomi, it`s just a matter of time.
