Story Behind The Song
This was written after a 17 year old girls was murdered and the news thought her life wasn't of value because she sold her body. I decided to write a bold prostitute songs. I wrote a number of prostitute songs-explaining why they were prostitute, then I decided it didn't what the reason, they still had value, so I wrote a bold song of a woman who turned to prostitution because she was good at it. This is not support-it is reaching out to these women.
Song Description
The song is basically a woman who says that she didn't want to go to school or work in a restaurant. She has chosen this profession, at this time and is unapologetic. It is a difficult song-because I do not agree that this is a safe thing to do. PLEASE READ THE STORY.

Lyrics
You come up here with a question and a kiss,
why's a girl like me doing a thing like this.
I'll gladly tell you why I chose this livelihood,
it's not from necessity, it's because I'm so damn good.
And I can make you tremble from your head down to your toes,
raise you to a height where'll you'll gladly sell your soul.
The music of my body is something to behold
and all it's going to cost you know is a little bit of gold.
I didn't want to drown in no typing pool,
or play all those silly games just to get through school.
I didn't want to work in no restaurant,
so I make my living knowing what you want.
And I can make you tremble from your head down to your toes,
raise you to a height where'll you'll gladly sell your soul.
The music of my body is something to behold
and all it's going to cost you know is a little bit of gold.
I have all the passion of an infant child who weeps,
and I can bring a burning that will not let you sleep.
You don't have to fight your flaming desires,
cause with your body next to mine you're going to need your fire.
And I can make you tremble from your head down to your toes,
raise you to a height where'll you'll gladly sell your soul.
The music of my body is something to behold
and all it's going to cost you know is a little bit of gold.
