She left her neighborhood in which
|
Everyone was filthy rich
|
She left her parents at home
|
And strayed with a bagabond
|
Who made vows of love she never heard
|
And she believed his every word
|
She left no forwarding address
|
She just took her youth and happiness
|
And with the boy she vanished in
|
The secret sweetness of their sin
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
A young girl
|
A young girl of sixteen
|
Child of springtime still green
|
Laying there by the road
|
|
He told her love-demanded space
|
So they roam place to place
|
Although she realized she sinned
|
She threw caution to the wind
|
As she followed him around
|
While he slowly dragged her down
|
So overpowering was the love
|
That he had made
|
It captured all the young girl's hearts
|
And soul and mine
|
In another words love drove her blind
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Too much emotion for a girl
|
She let her heart become her world
|
A world that God has never wrought
|
That brought us under we are taught
|
Had she'd been wise and she had known
|
She could of fed him love alone
|
She should've know the day would come
|
When he would quit her for fun
|
He needed fresh young meat to carve
|
And left her heart and mind to starve
|
|
[Chorus]
|
