Melanie Martinez - A Million Men lyrics

Miss Maggie was way too young to understand
Why she got thrown into someone else's hands
Why she woke up to strange men
They tore her to pieces
And she couldn't comprehend
Why she was locked up in
A basement filled with men
Should've gone to school
Instead she did them

Don't touch me, I'm fragile
I'm bitter in my heart
Mama sold me for candy
And I was ruined from the start

Why do you have to sell me
To those mean old men?
They cut me up in places
I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me but how
Will my friends understand?


I'm five years old sleepin'
With a million men

All grown up and her body has decayed
All those promiscuous games she had to play
No, she skipped the jungle-jungle-gym phase
She's tryin' to look at things
In a bright way
Sees the light peekin' through the
End of the hallway
No, she's tryna, tryna, tryna escape

I'm runnin' full force, dear
But, it's harder when you're bones
I'm weak-kneed but I'm flyin' out
Of this hell hole

Why do you have to sell me
To those mean old men?
They cut me up in places
I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me but how
Will my friends understand?
I'm ten years old runnin' from a million men

Finally, the light is comin' close
No turning back, run full force
Angels swoop down and grab me
And now I'm safe away from the
Million men who raised me

Why do you have to sell me
To those mean old men?
They cut me up in places
I don't even understand it's normalcy to me
How will my boyfriend understand?
I'm seventeen with a history
Of a million men, men

A million men, men
A million men, a million men
A, a million, a million men
A million men, men a million men
