They say I must love my dear momma They say I must love her dear lover But now I do not have to please them I am queen Been prohibited, I must say Her dear lady always AIDS But now I do get to deny I am queen Mom woke me up at 6 a. M She said someone wanted to see me To give me a big big news I am queen But the lady got sick Or was there a baby to be born? Mommy’s lover and the lady Was that my triumph queen’s choir? Flowers, flowers, why so many flowers? I heard her claim, promise innocence Here let me sigh my life away You are queen She destroyed my crown for a few cold months And chased my dreams till I begged for mercy She made me better, non-judgmental, but weak I am no longer the queen I was once But I still am Queen And every night I hear her say Here let me wander, here let me stray Here let me sigh my life away Why should I court the world's false smile Which brightens only to beguile?
