<i>[Verse 1]</i><br>
The alarm clock rung<br>
Momma woke her out the bed<br>
She's gettin' dressed for school<br>
Puttin' barrettes in her head<br>
An honor roll student real smart<br>
That's what they said<br>
Every morning when she left<br>
Mom would cook her grits and eggs<br>
Pops worked two jobs<br>
To bring in the bread<br>
Momma stayed in the kitchen<br>
And kept her well fed<br>
Now here she go<br>
Went to meet her friends<br>
At the bus stop <br>
On the avenue<br>
That's when the old Cadillac dropped<br>
The man that was drivin'<br>
Snatched her up around 8 o'clock<br>
While her friends and the bus driver<br>
Waitin' down the block<br>
No one heard her screamin'<br>
He turned the bass up a notch<br>
She was tampered with<br>
Second floor in an abandoned spot<br>
No telephone around<br>
So she couldn't call the cops<br>
He threw her in the bathroom<br>
Made sure the door was locked<br>
All she was thinkin'<br>
"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"<br>
All she was thinkin'<br>
"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"<br>
It's a damn shame<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus - Wanya]</i><br>
Damn shame<br>
That someone<br>
That someone would want to mess with you<br>
And you just can't get them out your mind<br>
Try to replace bad times with smiles<br>
Let it out<br>
Out right now<br>
I know it's hard to talk about<br>
You gotta keep going on with your life<br>
Letting it out<br>
<br>
<i>[Verse 2]</i><br>
The school bell rung<br>
For the first hour of school<br>
Her teacher called her moms<br>
Cuz she thinks she's skippin' school<br>
But if only they knew<br>
What was really goin' on<br>
She's cryin' for your help<br>
While y'all talkin' on the phone<br>
The teacher's on the wrong subject<br>
Sayin' that she think she grown<br>
Somebody call the police<br>
Damn callin' up Tyrone<br>
So her mother filed a report on her own<br>
This is the description that she gave what was known<br>
Fifteen<br>
She was last seen <br>
Standin' on the corner<br>
Eatin' ice cream<br>
At the bus stop<br>
On 10th Street and Milly Ave.<br>
Just a few feet <br>
From the spot<br>
Where she stayed<br>
Pink mini skirt<br>
And french braids<br>
Hundred-ten pounds<br>
What she weighed<br>
5 foot 2<br>
Eyes blue-grey<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus - Wanya]</i><br>
Damn shame<br>
That someone<br>
That someone would want to mess with you<br>
And you just can't get them out your mind<br>
Try to replace bad times with smiles<br>
Let it out<br>
Out right now<br>
I know it's hard to talk about<br>
You gotta keep going on with your life<br>
Letting it out<br>
<br>
<i>[Verse 3]</i><br>
Now back to the abandoned spot<br>
Where she's tryin' to pick the lock<br>
So he threw her in his 'lac<br>
Ridin' with the doors locked<br>
Drove her through the woods<br>
That was right around the block<br>
Dropped her off at the hospital<br>
In the parking lot<br>
The school bell rung<br>
For the end of a class<br>
At the same time<br>
She was runnin' in the flash<br>
To go and call her mother<br>
But her mother isn't there<br>
And when she finally seen her<br>
Speculation filled the air<br>
Her momma don't believe her<br>
She's keeps callin' her tricks and whores<br>
Sayin' I told you 'bout them older men before<br>
Her father didn't neither<br>
Afraid to face the sticks and stones<br>
And now she's searchin' for the grace to carry on<br>
It's a damn shame<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus - Wanya]</i><br>
Damn shame<br>
That someone<br>
That someone would want to mess with you<br>
And you just can't get them out your mind<br>
Try to replace bad times with smiles<br>
Let it out<br>
Out right now<br>
I know it's hard to talk about<br>
You gotta keep going on with your life<br>
Letting it out<br>
<br>
Let it go <br>
Let it go<br>
I know it's hard<br>
But you should let it go<br>
Life goes on and you should know<br>
If you let it go<br>
Let it go<br>
<br>
Let it go <br>
You should let it go<br>
I know you'll make it<br>
If you let it go<br>
Life goes on and you should know<br>
Let it go<br>
Let it go<br>
<BR><BR>
