CHER - A young girl lyrics

rate me

<b>A young girl</b> by <i>Cher</i><br />She left her neighbourhood

In which everyone was filthy rich

She left her parent's home

And strained with a vagabond

Who made piles of love she never heard

And she believed his every word

She left no forwarding address

Just took her youth and happiness

As with the boy she vanished in

The secret sweetness of their sin

Oh, young girl

Oh, young girl of sixteen

Child of spring-time

Still green

Lying there by the road

He told her: "love demanded space"

So they roamed from place to place

Although she realized she'd sined

She grew caution to the wind

As she followed him around

While he slowly dragged her down

So overpowering was her love

The it had made a captive of

The young girl's heart and soul and mind

In other words: love drove her blind

Oh, young girl

Oh, young girl of sixteen

Child of spring-time

Still green

Laying there by the road

Too much emotion for a girl

She let her heart become her world

What world that God has never rocked(??)

For a sunder we are taught

Had she been wise and she'd have known

She could feed him love alone

She should of known the day would come

When he would quit her just for crums

He needed fresh young meat to love

And left her heart and mind to starve

Oh, young girl

Oh, young girl of sixteen

Child of spring-time

Still green

Lying there by the road
