VERSE (1) You watched me dance in the moonlight Do I move my body well in your sight, Am I the right age and the right height Hoping I'm not just another oversight Here's hoping that you'll treat me right, I'm too scared to walk and too tired to fight When you made a solemn oath to me, I was blinded by your love, was no reality.. CHOROUS Little girl will you ever learn? How to crash without the burn? Wanting love is not a crime But life is not a nursery rhyme What the hell are you crying for? Get down on your knees and pray some more Cause these tears only lead to a trapdoor You seek what you need down the trapdoor You battle, you bleed, always wanting more Of the deep, dark despair down the trapdoor VERSE (2) Why can't I see what they are looking at All incognito in my black Vinnies hat, I would of run well with the 'Rat Pack' So what the hell are they looking at! I've been let down, by a dirty alley cat There's a whore skanking where I once sat You broke your solemn oath to me, That's far from satisfactory! VERSE (3) Once in a palace made just for me How much I missed just being free Why would you choose never to see The depth of what they meant to me I've tried crazy mentality, cried with strained sensibility I stood alone, felt the ocean's breeze Praying for strength, fighting to breathe You broke your solemn oath to me, I was battered and bruised but finally free!
