(Genesis 34:1-31)
As a daughter I was treated kind
But my life's become the scene of a crime
Well, my brothers comfort me with kid gloves -- but there is a rage
When I tell them 'bout the foreigner's love, what do they say?
Hu-ush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
Hu-ush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary -- uh oh
I tried so hard not to get them upset
'Cause I knew that they'd do stuff I'd regret
I could tell that they had something in mind -- and something severe
And I tried so hard to be a good bride, but no one's left here
Hu-ush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
Hu-ush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
Hu-ush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary -- uh oh
He robbed me -- that's only part of the crime
They robbed me -- when he was treating me kind
Hush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Hush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Oh-oh-oh, hush, hush -- cheer up now -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Oh-oh-oh, hush, hush -- weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Oh-oh-oh, hush, hush, Dinah, stay right over here
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Uh, oh -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
They said, "Cheer up" -- they said, "Cheer up"
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Lord God, can't You -- hear me now?
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Uh, oh -- boys are scary
I wish -- they would -- let me go
Genesis 34:26
They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from
Shechem's house and left.
