lyrics

I got a friend who needs a grand
She’s holding out her hand asking me to understand
And I should do what I can

She finds herself in quite a mess
A recent success and someone under her dress
She’s left with thoughts of hopelessness

Don’t let your father know
Hope your mama keeps your secret safe with her ‘til you get a chance to go
Don’t let your father know
Hope your mama keeps your secret safe with her ‘til you get a chance to go

Any way this goes it’ll be bad
It’s so sad he gets so uncontrollably mad
You’re not alone, high school grad

Do you think you can stay? Is there something there that you can hold onto?
You know what he would say; you know how he would say it to you
There’ll be no other way, ‘cause nothing else will ever do
Nothing else will ever do for you

Who holds the tie that binds?
Why does someone kind have to be so hard to find?
What makes your daddy so blind?

One of these days he’ll realize
As his wife cries, he looks deep into her eyes
Her loving soul could tell no lies
