I Am a Girl Who Knows Her Rights

I am a girl who knows her rights
I hear the floor creek closer and closer towards my bedroom door,
I try to stay quiet hiding under the covers of my bed,
Though I know he will find me,
I hope he doesn't hear me breathing or hardly hear my heartbeat,
Hardly I'm scared,
I'm scared what if he does like last time,
Telling me to take off my clothes and then telling me not tell,
But if I tell he will kill me,
I still want to persue my career too,
No! I will tell and all that will wait,
I deserve happiness in my life,
I am a girl who knows her rights
I am a girl who knows her rights...
