I wake up at the same time every day
I sleep well
I sleep in a silk nightgown
The first thing I do is get out of bed
My brother turned me blonde late one night
When I was eleven, I have never looked back
I put on my working clothes: tight black pants
And of course high heels
And I believe you should try to enjoy yourself
If everything's under control and I'm on my own
I pick up my bags and head for the car
I prefer to speak to people face-to-face
I like rock music, Lenny Kravitz
And especially Prince
I take a bath: scented oils, perfumed body cream
The light goes out
I like my bedroom, I usually fall asleep
And I hear him in my ear
He is torturing me, but still I believe he is happy
I really believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe.
