Lou Gramm - Society’s Child lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Come to my door, baby

You're face is ____(?) shining black as night

A mother with two answering no

Said you look so fine

And I can understand your tears and your pain

She called you girl, she set up your name

But she would invite you inside

With her tender smile, she's not _____(?)

(Chorus)

She said 'I can't see you anymore, baby'

Can't see you anymore

(Verse 2)

Walking down to school, baby

People acting like they're deaf and blind

Then they turn and say why don't ya

Speak to your own kind?

My feet just left, ________(?)

Cutting me down, they hated my ____(?)

Just this happy poverty, they say believe it

But ____________(?)

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening

I'm gonna raise my head up high

One of these days I'm gonna spread

My glistering wings and fly

But that day will have to wait for a while

Baby, I'm only society's child

Of all the things they say

Guess that's the way they must remain

(Chorus x2)
