Innocence

(lyrics & music: Michael Archbold)

(verse)

She grew up in the wrong part of town

Life is rough it always gets me down

Mom left dad when she was just three

Still hasn’t decided where she wants to be

(chorus)

What can she do, there’s so much pain

She searches for love wherever she can

What can she do, there’s so much pain

She searches for love wherever she can

(verse)

Got her first job at age thirteen

Has to help her pop, where could he be

Bills are overdue, he’ll be in a rage, she said

Daddy don’t hit me, she pleads him again

(chorus)

Oh, what can she do, there’s so much pain

She searches for love wherever she can

What can she do, there’s so much pain

She searches for love wherever she can

(interlude)

(bridge)

You think you’re so experienced, you think you’ve seen it all

You think you’re no good now, but that’s not at all

Underneath the confusion, underneath the pain

There lies a little girl, her innocence retained

(chorus 2)

No matter what they do or what they say

Nothing takes that innocence away

No matter what they do or what they say

Nothing takes that innocence away
