What's The Matter

Catie Curtis

I love this town you can 
See the stars at night 
Even from downtown 
'Cause there are no city lights 
This town was my biggest fan 
'Til I was who I am 

What's the matter? 
What's the matter? 
All I ask is why 
Be afraid of this girl 

What's the matter? 
What's the matter? 
All I ask is why be 
Afraid of this world 

I love this town the moon 
Is dancing on the waves 
And in the bars half 
Of them are underage 
People let a lot slip by 
When they look a lot alike 

What's the matter? 
What's the matter? 
All I ask is why 
Be afraid of this girl 

What's the matter? 
What's the matter? 
All I ask is why 
Be afraid of this world 

What if I am black or Jew 
Straight or queer mother of two 
Run around in a hippie dress 
Ride my bike in a leather vest 
What's the matter? 

I love this town where 
I climbed the apple trees 
And that was me cheering 
For the hometown team 
I've got something to give 
In this town where I want to live 

So what's the matter? 
What's the matter? 
All I ask is why 
Be afraid of this girl 
What's the matter? 
What's the matter? 

All I ask is why be why be 
What's the matter? 
What's the matter? 
All I ask is why 
Be afraid of this world 
Why be afraid?
