Saffron Original - It Was Good For You Too by Marian Call

“It Was Good For You Too” by Marian Call
(Listen to it here)

Don’t you cry now, sweetie
Just you put that gun away
All I did was play the part
you wanted me to play

You thought that you were handsome
and strong, and good in bed
I just agreed with you
and you swallowed every word I said

Oh honey, did you really think
you were special dear, unique
And did you really think I was
so needy and so weak

I robbed you blind, I left you cryin’
I played you for a fool
BUt you’re the one who let me, admit it
It was good for you too

I had a better hand this time
You’ll win some other day
It’s a cruel game, but just the same
it’s one that we all play

I’ve seen you force your hand before
You’re no angel either, dear
So put your hands where I can see them
and let’s get one thing clear

You’re pathetic; did you really have to
spring for that new tattoo?
Did you really think that I
would choose to stay with you?

I gave you what you wanted
You returned the favor, too
We both made out quite nicely, admit it
It was good for you, too

Oh, admit it, admit it,
it was good for you too
I won’t apologise because I know
that it was good for you, too

From the creator:

“I saw the post about the contest and I already had half the song in my head by the time I finished reading the rules.  So very excited that I can contribute!

“As soon as I read about the contest I knew someone had to actually sing a song OF Saffron, not just about her.  A girl who misbehaves gets a lot of bad press, dong ma?  Just look at all the other submissions.  She’s not the type to stand idly by and hear those accusations without speaking up for herself.  And I believe she would pose the question: what did I ever do that your swollen egos didn’t permit?  Of course, she’s none the less despicable.  But she is fun to sing.
“All my fellow musicians were busy or out of town (right when a girl needs them, too!), so I had to do a little sonic plundering to create this song.  I borrowed and reorganized a guitar track from a bluesy gospel tune I recorded in April for a friend — so I offer my apologies in advance to those whose work has been reconstituted to make the phrase lengths and chord changes work properly in a different song.”
