Onion Girl (Holly Cole)

I'm a bit unstable, she said With a Cheshire grin So many cracks in my sidewalk, boy Don't you fall in. Feels like the things that I've wanted The most in this life I can't have So you see I've been damning the world Before it damns me She said I'm naked and shameless And I'm peeling back the layers Like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry Like an onion girl Like an onion girl Second grade playground I still haven't the nerve Fear is under my skin Like St. Anthony's fire And I can't stand the burn Yeah So let's break a little bread, have a little laugh I haven't laughed for a while 'Cause it's a long road back, yes From the womb tonight I'm naked, shameless And peeling back the layers Like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry, yes Like an onion girl Like an onion girl She said I'm naked, shameless And I'm peeling back the layers Like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry Like an onion girl She said I'm naked and shameless And peeling back the layers Like, like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry Like an onion girl Like an onion girl, yeah Like an onion girl
