Lyrics

Sad Story

It's a sad, sad story indeed
Always believing in fairytales and dreams
It's a sad story
A sad story indeed

She was the acid queen
Yeah you know what I mean
With her legs firmly on the ground
Alice in her wonderland
So tongue in cheek
The flavor of the week
I think her daddy would be proud
She likes to dance to a marching band
But every night when no one knows
She makes her money without her clothes

It's a sad, sad story indeed
Always getting what she does not need
It's a sad story
A sad story indeed

It's her birthday soon
In a hotel room
She's gonna celebrate with me
I want to take her far away
But she wouldn't come
No she's not that dumb
She's a lady at sixteen
When all my pleas for her to come with me have died away
And as she takes off her clothes I hear her say

It's a sad, sad story indeed
Always believing in fairytales and dreams
It's a sad story
A sad story indeed
