A song that seems to symbolize an internal fight with oneself over self-identity and self-esteem. Throughout the track, there’s a conflict between hawks and doves – evoking imagery of war hawks in opposition to doves which traditionally symbolize peace.
[Verse 1]
As far as I can tell
I'm nothing like a princess
But today I find myself
Curling up behind the house
There's nothing in the air today
Now I know I'm not so important
[Chorus]
Take these girly arms
And ever keep me
Take these girly arms
And ever keep me
[Verse 2]
I don't have a hawk in my heart
No dumbass dove in my brain
I don't have a hawk in my heart
No dumbass dove in my dumbass brain
[Chorus]
Take these girly arms
And ever keep me
Take these girly arms
And ever keep me
[Outro]
I don't have a hawk in my heart
No, I don't have a hawk in my heart
No, I don't have a hawk in, I don't have a hawk in, I don't have a hawk in my heart
No, I don't have a hawk in my heart
I don't have a hawk in my heart
No, I don't have a hawk in, I don't have a hawk in, I don't have a hawk in my heart
I don't have a hawk in my heart
In my heart, In my heart (I don't have a hawk in my heart)
No, I don't have a hawk in my heart
