Story Behind The Song

Manager of a band I was in capitalized on a very young,green, but talented girl, by feeding her addiction to control her. Eventually, thhis broke the entire band up, but we're stillplaying in "Eve", and I hope my dear little friend has overcome this problem and is still playing too...rock on girl.

Song Description

Sadness and anger at seeing a young girl's dreams being capitalized on by a more experienced but "not nice" person in the music biz. Sorrow at seeing him use her addiction to gain control of her and her talent.

Lyrics

I am not the lies you told...Iam not the song you sold
I am not sorry for your sins...I only cried for her
You think yourself a deity...to save me from iniquity
But you can't even save yourself...I only cried for her

# Chorus... I only cried...for her
I only cried...for her

Get the girl another line...see if you can change her mind
A shame you have to buy her time......I only cried for her
Crystal clear and cocaine blues...did you make her dreams come true?
You are just a thing she used...but I still cried for her.

# Chorus

## Teach her you anthems...Polish her tantrums
You won't forget it...You will regret it

Instrumental break

For one who is so impotent...to speak of my empowerrment
That is just a word you used...I only cried for her
All that sparkles is not gold...you're going rate on human souls
Some things can't be bought or sold...I only cried for her

# Chorus

#Chorus
*Sub text Toot toot Tootsie...good-bye Toot toot Tootsie...don't cry
