I was an unmarried girl I’d just turned twenty-seven When they sent me to the sisters For the way men looked at me Branded as a Jezebel I knew I was not bound for Heaven I’d be cast in shame Into the Magdalene laundries
Most girls come here pregnant Some by their own fathers Bridget got that belly by her parish priest We’re trying to get things white as snow All of us woe-begotten-daughters In the streaming stains Of the Magdalene laundries
Prostitutes and destitutes And temptresses like me Fallen women Sentenced into dreamless drudgery Why do they call this heartless place Our Lady of Charity? Oh, charity
These bloodless brides of Jesus If they had just once glimpsed their groom Then they’d know, and they’d drop the stones Concealed behind their rosaries They wilt the grass they walk upon They leech the light out of a room They’d like to drive us down the drain At the Magdalene laundries
Peg O’Connell died today She was a cheeky girl A flirt They just stuffed her in a hole! Surely to God you’d think at least some bells should ring! One day I’m going to die here too And they’ll plant me in the dirt Like some lame bulb That never blooms, come any spring Not any spring

Lyrics
If you, if you could return Don’t let it burn Don’t let it fade I’m sure I’m not being rude But it’s just your attitude It’s tearing me apart It’s ruining every day
I swore, I swore I would be true And honey so did you So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand? Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?
But I’m in so deep You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you I thought nothing could go wrong But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by Trying not to lie Things wouldn’t be so confused And I wouldn’t feel so used But you always really knew I just want to be with you
And I’m in so deep You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
And I’m in so deep You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
I stay out too late Got nothing in my brain That’s what people say, mm-mm That’s what people say, mm-mm
I go on too many dates But I can’t make ’em stay At least that’s what people say, mm-mm That’s what people say, mm-mm
But I keep cruisin’ Can’t stop, won’t stop movin’ It’s like I got this music in my mind Sayin’ it’s gonna be alright
‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo) Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo)
I never miss a beat I’m lightnin’ on my feet And that’s what they don’t see, mm-mm That’s what they don’t see, mm-mm
I’m dancin’ on my own (dancin’ on my own) I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go) And that’s what they don’t know, mm-mm That’s what they don’t know, mm-mm
But I keep cruisin’ Can’t stop, won’t stop groovin’ It’s like I got this music in my mind Sayin’ it’s gonna be alright
‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo) Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Hey, hey, hey Just think, while you’ve been gettin’ down and out about the liars And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world You could’ve been gettin’ down to this sick beat
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend She’s like, “Oh my God!” but I’m just gonna shake And to the fella over there with the hella good hair Won’t you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake (yeah) Yeah, oh, oh
‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate) Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo) Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmm) And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake and fake and fake) Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off (yeah), I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (you got to) I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
Bey & Jay LOVE STORY: My edit of “Die With You” by Beyonce❤️ ATTENTION: If you want to hear the song closer to the original version: speed up to 1,25x !!
I don’t have a reason to cry And I have every reason to smile And I don’t have a reason to lie When you’re already reading my mind And I don’t have a reason to be, if I can’t be with you And I don’t need air in my lungs, if I can’t sing your song No, I don’t need hands if I don’t get to keep you warm And I don’t really need myself, if I don’t need you
‘Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you I open my eyes so I could see with you And I live so I can die with you
And I don’t really need these fingers, if I don’t get to touch your spine Well I don’t need these legs, if I ain’t walking by your side And I don’t really need to be if I can’t be with you
‘Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you I open my eyes so I could see with you And I live so I can die with you
‘Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you I open my eyes so I can see with you And I live so I can, I live so I can I live so I can Die with you
You Know you make me feel better And I knew I Knew I knew When I was under the weather
Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you
You Know you make me feel better I remembered the time when we were small Planting seeds, put it in ???quants?? I remembered the time when we were small We did it all But tell me Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better
It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better And I knew I Knew I knew When I was under the weather
Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better I remembered driving in that car Our destiny was never far I must have lost ten thousand times But We There But tell me Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better
I could not wait until I grown I could not wait until I grown I could not wait until I grown I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I knew I could not wait until I knew I could not wait until I knew I could not wait until I knew
I would love to go but that car Where Our destiny was never far I would love to go but that car But I can’t And come to me today that made me I wish those things away Still It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better Whatever you do Don’t wish your days away Whatever you do Take it easy today Take it easy today
