Little Girl
Little girl, cover your bruises, it’s time to make them disappear
Nothing comes for free?
You learnt that the hard way, innocence ripped for a fee
A lost puppy, you wander the street
If you don’t stand at that corner then you don’t eat
CHORUS:
Little girl with your high heels on
cheap perfume and smoke
You’re grinding to that dirty song
The world forgot you, you don't know where you belong
Got your back in a dark corner
You’ve been at this for far too long.
The winter’s unforgiving, but you have nowhere to go
Streets call your name, to passers-by you're a ho
Yet none of them could walk a day in your shoes
but still their pace hastens when you're in their views
Hold your head high little girl, even though you've been abused.
CHORUS
Sixteen candles today, but there’s no momma’s love
just outstanding bills that need pay
Cruel how the world has abandoned you this way
You’ve caught yourself in a web of lies
There is no one to listen or answer your cries
She says a fake name, she fakes a smile
"Yes, I'm happy”, she lives in denial
You smell his sweat, his cheap cologne
He's grinning and he’s groaning
probably has a wife and kids left at home
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Lift your head, little girl
because you're braver than they say
Keep on dreaming little girl, that there will be a better day
Somewhere far off from this place
with neither destruction nor sin
Somewhere that you can be
the little girl that still lives within
CHORUS
