Here's a real sad song

A song that must be sung

Think about the days when we were young

When we were kids girl all you wanted to do was play

But that was then and look at how you're living today

It's making me sad and almost brings me tears

But you may just open your eyes when the smoke clears

Girl what happened to the smile that used to clean

Once upon a time in your life you used to dream

At the top of the swim team but now you're drownin'

How quick your change was the most astounding

What you're gonna do is you against the world

You started off being such a sweet girl

Times go by, and years they start to drift

Now you're staring down a deep cliff

You can pour but don't overflow the cup

Girl you better



CHORUS

Ease up

So down

Girl you better change your life around (ease up)

So down (ease up)

So down

Girl you better change your life around (ease up)

So down



No longer kids now we're considered as teens

Now we start learning what the letters in life mean

You had a good home living the good life - who knows

You might have made somebody a good wife

How is it wrong when things which are so fun

Now you walk around with a body with no mind

You entered the gateway to all life choices

Your brain was kinda hollow so you followed the voices

And you let it mislead ya

It took your body and soul and it said that it freed ya

Each and every girl like you is a sad case

You always have a beautiful look on a sad face

It could never be the way that it was

But if you're on the dope then that's what the dope does

If you pour don't overflow the cup

Girl you better



CHORUS



And now it comes to the final solution

Robbing and stealing and prostitution

Can't you see that your world is a shamble?

Life is a big game with plenty of gambles

So much time many things that are undone

No longer you cause there's you and a young son

You got one there are girls with two or three

Can't get a fix on 'em it's driving 'em up a tree

Just stop and think of your young child

Before he winds up as a name in a closed file

As I reminisce and take a look back

I wish I knew what to do to put you on the right track

But yet the train that left the station

And your money's on a permanent vacation

The more you pour you overflow the cup

Girl you better



CHORUS
