What in the world is a woman like you
Doing in a state like this?
How could anybody rescue you
When you live like you barely exist?
Make your promises before breakfast
Say your nursery rhymes before bed
If I gave you the chapter and verses
Would you do anything I said?

Who are these people you're calling your friends?
They took everything you brought
They stand out of view and they start at the end
Knowing that they'll never get caught
I promised I'd leave you in silence
Now you rattle 'round in my room
Wander alone down and empty road
You're a song without a tune

But none of this gets to the bottom
Of what it was that turned you in circles
Tied to a May Pole
A ribbon so colorful
Fantastic and beautiful
But you're tangled and you're nowhere
I'm pretty sure that a woman like you
Wasn't born into this world for that
No, I'm pretty damn sure that w woman like you
Wasn't born into this world for that.

And all that I wanted
Was to get to the bottom
Of what it was that turned you upside-down
Miles in the air
Tied to a limb
And that ribbon, it won't break your fall
I'm pretty sure that a woman like you
Deserves a whole lot better than that
Yes, I'm pretty damn sure that a woman like you
Wasn't born into this world for that

What in the world is a woman like you
Doing in a state like this?

Does anyone out there still write songs that are interesting, with melodies and lyrics and meaning?  -  Yes!

Mark Baughman is a composer, guitarist, playwright, visual artist and architect (yes, really, an architect). Based in Washington, DC, Mark writes songs that are more than stories - they are movies with vivid characters and real emotions. The songs have carefully crafted lyrics, melodies and song structures. Mark is incredibly versatile and prolific, easily moving from one genre to another to express what's on his mind and in his heart.

Mark has written and produced to stage 3 rock operas - 99, Release and Energie. Each tells a story of complex contemporary adult life. He is presently writing his 4th show, entitled Victoria Falls, and he posts the new songs as they are completed. 

Between the rock operas, Mark has produced 5 other albums - She Dreams of the Ghost, Charmed Life, Victoria Falls, No Prophet Here and Divided by Zero - which further showcase his songwriting dexterity and musicianship. 

Mark's live band is called Working Theory and takes different forms depending on the show  and venue. And he's busy now working on the next thing.
