SULA (Hardcover)

Down here in the bottom there ain't no room for me
 I don't wanna make no babies
 I don't need a man to save me
 Secondhand loneliness pass on over me
 I might wanna make some babies
 Runnin outta time for waiting
 Freedom and triumph, they weren't meant for me
 Girls of my color, find somethin' else to be
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Up here in the bottom you linger over me
 I got all this space to fill
 Something only bodies heal
 Promiscuous holiness slope is slippery
 I got all this time to kill
 Something like a prayer to kneel to
 Lay on my pillow you think I'm so weak
 Soft as my skin is my power's discreet
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 I'm better I'm better I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Ooh I'm better
 Thick with birds, I met you in the dirt (I met you in the dirt)
 Wicked burns, you left me so hurt (you left me so hurt)
 Thick with birds, you met me in the dirt (you met me in the dirt)
 Sick at first, but haven't I learned (but haven't I learned)
 I'm not sorry that I cut you out
 I'm not sorry (haven't I learned)
 Can't be sorry that I cut you out
 What's done is done (but haven't I)
 No crying over you
 I'm not sorry that I cut you out
 I'm not sorry (haven't I)
 Can't be sorry that I cut you out
 What's done is done
 No crying over you (but haven't I learned)
 I'm not sorry that I cut you out
 I'm not sorry
 Can't be sorry that I cut you out
 What's done is done, no crying over you (can't be sorry)
 I'm not sorry that I cut you out
 I'm not sorry (oh, no crying over you, I'm not sorry)
 Can't be sorry that I cut you out
 What's done is done
