Lyrics for Purple Perfume by Lottie Zttarr

What am I supposed to do with this jar of oil? Precious oil for you.
If I was born in a certain time and place, would I pour it all on you?
Wishing I had more to give to you, it's only my perfume.
Why do strangers have to be there too? I wish for room for just two.

Chorus
I knew they would question my motives, and sacrifices.
My perfume means more than the answer to ten thousand questions.

I'm not Sophia, Jayne or Marilyn, more like Betty, Paige and a few.
I haven't drank from the well where you found me,
or returned to what I'm used to.
I have paid attention to all you've said to me.
Now what else am I to do?
You mean so much more than expensive perfume, but that's all I have to give to you.

Chorus
I knew they would question my motives, and sacrifices.
My perfume means more than the answer to ten thousand questions.
Once I was so annoyed with you for not arriving quickly.
This time when I say goodbye to you, you'll remember my perfume.

When it smells of death I know you'll remember my perfume.
You gave me life just when I needed it most, I'll never forget you.
Wherever it is that you go, you'll remember the scent of my perfume.
