I been trying to call you / get you on the phone
couldn’t get you alone/ couldn’t get you at all
i was just trying to break through
i can’t get over the wall
couldn’t get through to tell you / that your
shotgun lover took another one to cover up the pain that he couldn’t hide
you wished him well / gave him a kiss and a shell
with his name inscribed on the side
and you said sellout / you can get the hell out now
i can find my way alone
but you’re a little girl lost in the wilderness now
and I don’t think you’re coming home
oh no
ooh / i see the way that they watch you
counting up the cost/the lines you shouldn’t have crossed
’cause right now, there’s nothing else waiting to come due
you’re paying for what you’ve done
girl I was walkin/you better run/run and tell ‘em that your
shotgun lover took another one to cover up the pain that he couldn’t hide
you wished him well / gave him a kiss and a shell
with his name inscribed on the side
the one who sold out / I couldn’t hold out
left you the queen of rock’n’roll
but you’re a little girl broke on the boulevard now
and you already sold your soul
yeah you’re a little girl
and you’re losin’ it
spending up something so real
like it was counterfeit
like it never meant nothing at all
