She's got her sweet children
She's got her home she's got some land

Her earthly possessions
She's got a ring upon her hand
She tried to be a good girl

She tried to make everything right
She tried to kill the voices
That haunt her each and every night


She looks up to heaven
And wonders why love is so cruel

She loves him won't hurt him
Can't stop the wanting of you


She married in high school
Oldest was well upon her way
But that wild night Chicago

It's left a mark she can't erase
A phase you'll just get over
That's what her friends have always said


You dip your toes in water
She's in way over her head


She looks up to heaven
And wonders why love is so cruel

She loves him won't hurt him
Can't stop the wanting of you


Keeping her desire paralyzed
She catches in the corner of her eyes
Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighs

How the hell's this ache ever gonna die
And we make our choices
Doing what wee think is good

We deny our own dreams
'Cause we think we've been told we should
We think we've been told we should


She looks up to heaven
And wonders why love is so cruel

She loves him won't hurt him
Can't stop the wanting of you
