My life is in a turmoil
My thighs are black and blue
My sheets are stained,so is my brain
What's a girl to do? Oh what's a girl to do?
I passed out with a novel
Or a needle in my hand
I passed out with a ragdoll
And I passed out with a man
I say my 3 Hail Marys
I barely paint my face
My friends decay around me
And I view them with distaste
My life is is in a turmoil
My thighs are black and blue
My sheets are stained,so is my brain
What's a girl to do, oh, what's a girl to do?
Well some girls have a mission
And some girls have their work
Some marry with precision
And some just dish the dirt
And once I had a lover
And I once had a profession
And once I laughed at nothing and they called it a depression
I've tried dancing up and down,the wrong side of the tracks
And I've walked on the right side or just lay here on my back
So I think I'll quit while I'm behind, now that I'm 22
My sheets are stained, so is my brain
What's a girl to do? Oh what's a girl to do?
