[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
All grown up and her body has decayed
All those promiscuous games she had to play
Oh, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
A million men

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
A million men, men
A million men, a million men
A million, a million men
A million men, a million men
A million, a million men
A million men
