Lyrics
HE BEGGED HER, ?COME ON JUST THIS ONCE
WE CAN DO IT IN THE BATHROOM STALL
IT?S NO BIG DEAL, ALL THE COOL GIRLS DO IT?
SHE WANTED TO BE COOL AFTER ALL
THE SHAME SHE FEELS WALKIN DOWN THE HALL
CAN HARDLY BE DESCRIBED
THE GRAFFITI ON THE LOCKER ROOM WALLS
MAKES HER FEEL SICK INSIDE
CUZ THAT INK ON THE WALL?S NOT JUST WORDS
THEY?RE TALKIN? BOUT HER LIFE
AS IF SHE WERE A POPULAR GIRL
SHE KNEW WHEN HE ASKED HER TO DO IT
IT WOULDN?T BE HIM THEY?D SHAME
NOW SHE?S KNOWN TO THE GUYS AT HER SCHOOL
AS THE WHORE WHO KEEPS THE CHANGE
SO KEEP YOUR DIGNITY AND SAVE YOUR LIFE
FROM A DAILY LIVING HELL
YOU DON?T NEED TO PROVE THAT YOU?RE COOL
JUST TO BE A POPULAR GIRL
THE SHAME SHE FEELS WALKIN DOWN THE HALL
CAN HARDLY BE DESCRIBED
THE GRAFFITI ON THE LOCKER ROOM WALLS
MAKES HER FEEL SICK INSIDE
CUZ THAT INK ON THE WALL?S NOT JUST WORDS
THEY?RE TALKIN? BOUT HER LIFE
THEY'RE TALKIN' BOUT HER LIFE
AS IF SHE WERE A POPULAR GIRL
