Poor child
Poor child
Beautiful and bruised
ย
Poor child
Pure child
Virginal and used
Her hair
Her smile
Her eyes
So tender
Her heart
Her soul
Her life
So broken
How much more must she endure?
Poor child
Poor child
Sensitive and hard
One more girl forever scarred
Pause for a moment
Then throw him a glance (Poor child)
Look askance at Burrs and smile
Show him how it is (Prisoner of shame)
Maybe then he'll get his (He's a dime-store fraud)
She's a second-hand broad!
Just pause for a moment (Poor child) (And when the trap is set)
Then offer a stare (I'll be there for my Burrs)
Let him watch you (He thinks he's hers)
Walk on air (Pure child) (But he's in for some news)
Share a very quiet (Searching for) (Light the fuse)
Rendezvous (A name) (And place the bet)
Gently pull him to you (Well) (What does she think she's doing?)
His face, his arm (Her hair, her smile)
His chest (Her eyes)
Try to be wary and wise (I wasn't born yesterday) (So tender) (What does she think I am?)
His hands (Her soul)
His hips
His legs (Someone who gives a damn?)
Try (I wasn't born yesterday)
To get lost in his eyes (How much more?) (In an hour or two) (She's a sham) (She may be pretty)
Those heavenly eyes (But soon he'll get wise) (Things will start to unglue)
Pause for a moment
Then say your hello (Flirt!) (Burrs will be waiting)
Watch as Burrs (She's a flirt)
Begins to blow (Poor child) (Then I'll happily go) (And it's she who'll get)
Burrs getting angry (Generous) (And bring him to me hurt)
Burrs getting rougher (And bring him to me) (Oh! She's a phony)
Tonight I can (A stony-eyed lamb) (She's a sham)
Make him suffer (Well, we'll see, won't we?)
Show him how it is (One more girl) (And she better watch)
Maybe then he'll get his (Lost in the night) (She better watch her stop her step with Burrs)
Or she'll get hers
Poor child!
Poor child!
Dangerous, divine
She's a beautiful
Virginal
Sensitive
Generous
Poor child! (Predictable bore) (Dangerous whore) (I'll settle the score)
And I'll make (I'll take)
Her (I'll take) (What's)
Mine!
