Little Girl

Little girl, little girl

What do you see with

Those brown eyes of yours?

I see my daddy throwing mommy

Against the wall, shouting and slurring

 

Little girl, little girl

What do you see?

I see daddy chugging down

On a branded bottle along

With shattered glasses on the floor

 

Little girl, little girl

What do you see?

I see mommy throwing daddy

Outside and slamming the door

Then the sirens started to play

 

Little girl, little girl

What do you see?

I see mommy drinking red tea

She drinks it from dusk till dawn

But now I end up with bruises

Whenever she comes in through my door

 

Little girl, little girl

What do you see with

Those brown eyes of yours?

I see mommy yelling at the men

Who came in our home

As I am being carried away by the siren men
