Far beyond a little girl I was only 17 when I left home I was only 13 when I was grown You always said I could've been mother born again Listen to my words, I'm only singing to you Won't you listen to my words? Beneath the skin of your perfect world Stands a man with a cruel hand and an empty heart And that empty house where I was born Kindled with such loving care I was never shown Listen to my words, I'm only singing to you Won't you listen to my words? Listen to my words, I'm only singing to you Won't you listen to my words?
