A Sad, Sad Story Lyrics

A dreamer wakes up in her bed alone
To the interrupting ringing of her cellular phone
It isn't him
And where did he run off to?
She can't remember the last time she had a feel
She'd gone to bed
Only to wake up by herself
And it was ladie's night
A dollar for a bottled shelf
But the drinks were spilled
And he cleans up her table
She wants to do him
and boy he was able to tell
She was intoxicated
An easy catch none of the less
He'd like to sweetly eat that dress
She thinks its destiny to spend her life alone
She can't escape her past
She grew up fast in broken homes
Moving from town to town
Her mother would not settle down
Still she searches for someone to feel the void
And dresses up for sex
And turns the heads of all the boys
With an empty smile on
Her father was never around
But when two become one in a dark college bedroom
She recalls the backseat without any legroom to move
She was intoxicated
He said he'd never leave her side
She learned that most teenagers lie
And it's a sad, sad story
But she plays the part
She's memorized lines to delay the start of something good
Anything to hold on to
She's oh so scared of being held
To make a change
To leave her make up on the shelf
Anything to hold on to
She's oh so scared of being held
To make a change
To leave her make up on the shelf
