Hard 16

Hard 16

Dady didn't care, mama wasn't there

Jenny slammed the door to her heart

Packed a suitcase of anger

No one tried to save her

She headed for the city that shines in the dark

But the lights fade away

When you're young on the streets without a friend

Jeanny learned to survive

Put a price on the nights that never end

CHORUS:

She's hard 16

Soft to the touch but she's seen too much

She's hard 16

Will her soul run dry by 17

The face of innocence doesn't stand a chance

Between the losers, the takers, the lost

So, Jenny never cried

Locked her pain inside

She's trapped in a time bomb

Ready to blow

There will come a day

When the mirror reveals a total stranger

Another lonely runaway in a living hell

She's turning

CHORUS

Jenny please come home

You've got so much to give

So much life to live

So, come home

CHORUS
