Keeping Score

I didn’t sign up for your game I’m not a number on your board While you keep talking on my name I keep moving forward I’m not a chess piece you can play My past’s a place you chose to stay I’m already out the door You can keep on keeping score You’re keeping score While I’m walking out the door You forgot my name Still trying to sell me shame But you missed one little thing I never needed your ring So you keep on keeping score Because boy, I’m worth so much more Are you still over there counting While I’m out here living You talk about grace and elegance The lady, the quiet, the demure You want a mother and a housekeeper While I’m out here creating Giving life, nurturing Healing the world You’re stuck on numbers in your mind Tell me what is it you’re trying to find You’re keeping score While I’m walking out the door You forgot my name Still trying to sell me shame But you missed one little thing I never needed your ring So you keep on keeping score Because boy, I’m worth so much more You’re keeping score While we’re walking out the door You forgot our names Still trying to sell us shame But you missed one little thing We never needed your ring So you keep on keeping score Because we’re worth so much more
