Renata Youngblood Music: Sounds

The Side Effects of Owning Skin

(Renata Youngblood Music)
06-2006
R. Youngblood, P. Pickslay
he said he wanted to love me...
i thought he could
he said he wanted to love me and oh,
i thought he should

standing on the corner of god-knows-where
with worn out shoes and last nights' hair
she knows more than a girl of her years should know
it's just how the wind blows

(chorus:)
honey, life is far from easy
sometimes the best you do is just
to survive
sugar, don't let them break you in
it's just the side effects of owning skin

i was shaken from a dream in the middle of the night
looking for a plan cause i feel so uptight
there could be a life for me
i just gotta learn how to set myself free!

(chorus)

if i only knew i promise you i'd tell
no hidden agenda, nothing to sell
still there are no guarantees
nobody knows just how the wind blows
you think you may know someone then the truth shows
but don't let the blindness fool you

(chorus)

it's just how the wind blows
