Permission

Hold that thought

It's yours to keep

I never asked you

What you think

I never asked how you felt

Told you to love me and no one else

Never asked for permission, permission

Permission, oh, permission

Never asked for permission, permission

Permission, I never asked you for

Hold that thought, it's yours to keep

I'll never bother with

What you think

I'll pull those words

Right from your mouth

Like string wound teeth

Trying to yank them out

I'll never ask how it felt

You're gonna love me and no one else

Don't need your permission, permission

Permission, oh, permission

Don't need your permission, permission

Permission, I never asked you for

I was young and never wanted

To touch a man or be a woman

You kissed me and I cried out loud

No, no, I didn't want you in my body

You never asked me to invite you in

You never asked for anything

You never asked, you never asked

You never asked for

Permission, permission

Permission, oh, permission

You never asked for permission, permission

Permission

You never asked me for me
