Poor Girl Lyrics

You sat at home
The windows tinted black
It hits you hard
And you cried so long
Life turned and wandered
Never to come back, againTake what she gives you
Don't feel sorry for herWhen you fell out
Out of the Starlight Inn
You were too hurt to walk
Too bad to begin
I looked at the sign
But I couldn't feel sad for youTake what she gives you
Don't cry, when you kiss herPoor little girl
Ran away for good
I try to explain
Why she won't say a thingSad, sad thing
I'm so far away now
How can I say

Why she won't talk at allShe holds the deck of cards
She wants to be alone
I've been very ill and I tried waking up
Now, I want to be aloneWhen you ran out
Out of Petes' Hotel
You didn't look so good
And you didn't feel so well
You said, "Hold me tight"
But I couldn't get it rightTake what she gives you
Don't feel sorry for herPoor little girl
Ran away for good
I try to explain
Why she won't say a thingSad, sad thing
I'm so far away now
How can I say
Why she won't talk at allShe holds the deck of cards
She wants to be alone
She still drinks in the dark
The radio is left on lateShe saw a madman fight
And break it all
'Cause she hated himself
And she felt better off
'Cause she was only drunk
