All alone she was living In a world without an end or beginning Baby girl was living life for the feeling But I don't mind, I don't mind And all the wrongs she committed She was numb and she was so co-dependent She was young and all she had was the city But I don't mind, I don't mind And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone In the night she hears him calling In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand) In the night when she comes crawling Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand) He sang a song when he did it He was cold and he was so unforgiving Now she dances to the song on the minute Yeah, all the time, all the time It make her weak when she hear it And it got her on her knees like religion She was young and she was forced to be a woman Yeah, all the time, all the time And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone In the night she hears him calling In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand) In the night when she comes crawling Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand) I don't think you understand In the night she hears him calling In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand) In the night when she comes crawling Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
