She Needed Love Testo

It started at a young age
Even before she could walk
Her poor mom was helpless
From the onslaught
Of her dad
And every day at grade school
She wouldn’t eat her lunch
Said her stomach hurt
Cause she had to return
To a place that was hardly home She needed love
(she needed love)

First went the TV
Then he smashed in the car’s windows
So she covered her ears and cried in bed
Waiting for it to end
The next day at school
The teacher asks why she’s sleeping
They all just laugh at the girl
Whose eyes keep leaking
She needed love

(she needed love)
(she needed love)
(she needed love)
(she needed love)

It gets darker after 16
When her old man settles in He’s unemployed but the money’s in
From her mom to buy his gin
She tiptoes in after work
Hoping her dad’s not awake
But the light flips on
And his hand’s too strong
To resist under his weight

But she’s one hell of a girl
She’ll pay for school and she’ll raise a boy
She’ll grow up
To become
Everything she could want
And more

She needed love
