Take Care of Yourself - Jenny Hval

What is it to take care of yourself

Getting paid getting laid

Getting married

Getting pregnant

Fighting for visibility in your market

Realizing your potential

Being healthy being clean

Not making a fool of yourself

Not hurting yourself

Shaving in all the right places

What am I taking care of

I'm lying in our bed unable to sleep

Reaching a state of absolute dependence

In a restless half-dream

Like the jam without a spoon

And I grab my cunt with my hand that isn't clean

Am I loving myself now

Am I mothering myself

Am I taking care of myself now

I imagine you're doing the same

Holding onto your soft dick

It lies in the hand where it dares stay soft

It lies in the hand where it dares stay soft

Could I be that for you

Could I be that for you

That cupping hand on your soft dick

Can I give you that

That which sometimes expects nothing

Accepting restlessness accepting no direction

Accepting this fearful wanting that isn't desire

That going nowhere

A warm place

Can we go there

We don't have to f**k

Can we just lie here being

I give you this hand

I give you this hand

I give you this hand

I give you this hand

I give you this hand

I give you this hand

I give you this hand

I give you this hand
