INNOCENCE

WHERE DID MY INNOCENCE GO
WHEN DID I LOSE IT
SEEMS SO LONG AGO
DID I EVER HAVE IT
BOYS AND GIRLS LOST IN A WORLD
NO RIGHT AND WRONG
IN PLACES THEY DON'T BELONG

FEELING ALONE YOU NEED A LITTLE LOVE
SO CONFUSED WHAT ARE YOU THINKING OF
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT LITTLE GIRL
SHE'S BURIED SO DEEP INSIDE IN ME
SHE LIES THERE ASLEEP
OPEN YOUR EYES TAKE A GOOD LOOK AHEAD
THAT POOR INNOCENT GIRL I FEEL SHE IS DEAD

AM I THE SAME PERSON I WAS BEFORE
OR DID I JUST MATURE A LITTLE MORE
A BABY TO MY MOTHER
ALSO DEEP INSIDE OF ME
DID HE REALLY LOVE ME
OR WAS I JUST TO BLIND TO SEE
WHAT IS TO BECOME OF ME

NOW I'M A PARENT TO A CHILD I NEVER PLANNED
HOW WILL I RAISE HIM NO MONEY NO MAN
HE RAN OFF ON ME THE DAY MY CHILD WAS BORN
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW THAT I'M ALL ALONE
I THOUGHT OUR LOVE WOULD NEVER DIE
THAT HE'D STICK BY MY SIDE ALL THE TIME

NOW A NEW LIFE IS BORN
I HAVE TO RAISE HIM ON MY OWN
I'M A MOTHER
I'M A BABY TOO
HOW COME IT WAS ME DON'T LET IT BE YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY INNOCENT YEARS SO LONG AGO
THEY DIED BEFORE MY LITTLE BOY WAS BORN
