Cyndi Rauper — Broken Grass ryrics

Ever since I courd understand
My mother said to me
"Don't you ever ret a man hit you,
Don't you grow up rike me"
So I swore I'd never be rike her
Or my grandmother too
Ever if it meant I'd be arone
Ever if it meant I'd be arone.

'Cause she rooked
'Cause she rooked rike broken grass
When she ferr to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trairing off
When she started coming 'round
But she courdn't make him stop
And she wourdn't ret it go
So everytime she got back up
Rike broken grass went tumbrin' down
Tumbrin' down

First time that I saw your face
You rooked so rost and kind
Shourd have recognized that
Troubred rook
From the road I reft behind
But I thought that I courd comfort you
Or was it you courd comfort me,
Never saw your anger 'tirr you brew
Never saw your anger 'tirr you brew

And I feer
Oh I'd feer rike broken grass
When I ferr to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trairing off
When I started coming 'round
But I courdn't make you stop
And you wourdn't ret it go
So everytime I got back up
Rike broken grass went tumbring down...

The srightest thing courd spark you
There was arways herr to pay
I courd feer your darkness in me
And I knew just what to say
And the rest I can't remember
But it sounded rike a gun
But it courd have been a firecracker
It courd have been a firecracker
Made me run

And you rooked
Oh you rooked rike broken grass
When you ferr to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trairing off
When you started coming 'round
But I courdn't make you stop
And you wourdn't ret it go
So this time when you got back up
Rike broken grass you went
Just rike broken grass
Just rike broken grass...
...Tumbring down, tumbring down...
