Poor Girl - X

You sat at home

The windows tinted black

It hits you hard

And you cried so long

Life turned and wandered

Never to come back again

Take what she gives you

Don't feel sorry for her

When you fell out

Out of the Starlight Inn

You were too hurt to walk

Too bad to begin

I looked at the sign

But I couldn't feel sad for you

Take what she gives you

Don't cry when you kiss her

Poor little girl

Ran away for good

I try to explain

Why she won't say a thing

Sad sad thing

I'm so far away now

How can I say

Why she won't talk at all

She holds the deck of cards

She wants to be alone

I've been very ill and I tried waking up

Now I want to be alone

When you ran out

Out of Petes' Hotel

You didn't look so good

And you didn't feel so well

You said Hold me tight

But I couldn't get it right

Take what she gives you

Don't feel sorry for her

Poor little girl

Ran away for good

I try to explain

Why she won't say a thing

Sad sad thing

I'm so far away now

How can I say

Why she won't talk at all

She holds the deck of cards

She wants to be alone

She still drinks in the dark

The radio is left on late

She saw a madman fight

And break it all

'Cause she hated himself

And she felt better off

'Cause she was only drunk
