Whipped - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Yes, I’m quieter, tired

I’m more apt to say

You go on, boys, I’m good

Think I’ll stay in today

I ain’t older (yes, I’m older)

But that’s not why the scales have tipped

Oh you know I’ve been chosen to be whipped

Lion tamer, pride life reframer

That warm pot of gold

Always waiting, fear abating

To welcome me home from the cold

It’s my pleasure or my treasure

It’s the opening that I had so dreamed for

Often screamed for I was as I like to die

And then I found her, and now I hound her

To get mine fully lipped, I’m in love, love

And I am absolutely

Whipped

Must be love

I’m whipped and cowed

And I’ll whoop and holler

If I’m allowed
