Bad Machinery by John Allison for March 11, 2019

Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

I love you so much, can’t count all the ways

I’ve died for you girl and all they can say is

“He’s not your kind”

They never get tired of putting me down

And I’ll never know when I come around

What I’m gonna find

Don’t let them make up your mind

Don’t you know, Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

Please, come take my hand

Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

Soon, you’ll need a man

I’ve been misunderstood for all of my life

But what they’re saying Lottie it cuts like a knife

“The boy’s no good”

Well, I’ve finally found what I’m a-looking for

But if they get their chance they’ll end it for sure

Surely would

Lottie, I’ve done all I could

Now it’s up to you Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

Please, come take my hand

Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

Soon, you’ll need a man

Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

Please, come take my hand

Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

Soon but soon, you’ll need a man

Lottie, you’ll be a woman soon

Please, come take my hand.
