She was so attractive

Her parents overprotective

She met another boy with a Lexus

And they made out on a mattress

She thought he loved her

But now he don't even bother

She had a little baby named Donna

But Donna ain't got no father

Seventeen candy curls all he saw was a young dumb girl

Spend a little dough, talk a little game

Look what that got you babe

She was young she didn't know

All they play on the radio

All they show on the video

How could she say no



It's okay it's alright

You ain't gotta explain a thing to me

I know what its like when you're lookin' for someone to love

It's okay it's alright

You can come stay with me tonight

You can cry on my shoulder

So baby just come on over



Brenda lived out in Michigan

She always seemed a little different

She met antother girl at the college

And then came out of the closet

All the friends she had before

They don't come around no more

She feels so abandoned and won't even leave her apartment

Hates he life hates herself

Just wants to be like everybody

Can't go home what would they say

Packed her things and ran away

She was young and innocent

She gave in to prejudice

No one came to her defense

And I haven't seen her since



It's okay if you wanna stay

It's alright if you wanna go

My arms are opened wide and I just gotta let you know

No matter what they say

I'm gonna stay right by your side

I'll be there for you everything's gonna be alright
