Lyrics

What was going through her mind
What could she possibly find
In a man that feels no shame
She tries to place the blame for what she's done

Has she finally seen enough
His remarks so off the cuff
Sudden movements make her stare
Completely unware of what's to come

Can't believe her truth
That he's really not this precious soul
More innocent than he is old
Someone's stolen youth
Still she makes believe that nothing's there
She's far removed and very rare

They all seem to understand
It's a shame what they've been told
Always stand behind your man
Even though he's always confessing
Even when your daughter's undressing
Even if you can't believe your eyes ( a word)

A reminder of her past
And he's drowning much too fast
It turns into his excuse (becomes his last excuse)
She tightens up the noose so unconcerned

So they wrongly place the blame
On a girl that has no name
No remorse for what he's done
She's fingering the gun when will he learn

Never had a chance
With a mother that was barely sane
No father just some man who came
Always says she can't
'Cause she doubts that anyone believes
A frightened child's been deceived
