"Million Men" lyrics - MELANIE MARTINEZ

Miss Maggie was way too young to understand
Why she got thrown into someone else's hands
Why she woke up to strange men
They tore her to pieces and she couldn't comprehend
Why she was locked up in a basement filled with men
Should've gone to school, instead she did them

Don't touch me, I'm fragile
I'm bitter in my heart
Mama sold me for candy
I was ruined from the start

Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?
I'm five years old, sleeping with a million men

All grown up and her body has decayed
All those promiscuous games she had to play
Oh, she skipped the jungle, jungle gym phase
She's trying to look at things in a bright way
Sees a light peeking through the end of the hallway
No, she's tryna, tryna, tryna escape

I'm running
Full force, dear
But it's harder when you're bones
I'm weak kneed, but I'm flying
Out of this hell hole

Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?
I'm ten years old, running from a million men

A million men
Finally the light is coming close
No turning back, run full force
Angels swoop down and grab me
And now I'm safe away from the million men who raised me

Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me, how will my boyfriend understand?
I'm seventeen with a history of a million men

Men, a million men
A million men, a million men
A million, a million men
A million men, a million men
A million, a million men
A million men
