never meant to hurt

her .. me .. learned a hard lesson

swore .. never again

though born a bastard

i'd no excuse for my shame

mom .. you taught me wrong

I misunderstood

my mom thought it was funny

her alcohol spoke

it's not my mother

who taught me wrong .. it was me

damn .. I should've known

pleasure .. sweet, sweet love

i'd embraced both for my own

love .. I knew it not
