Lyrics

Somebody?s Daughter
N. Michael Millman c 2004

Verse 1

Her baby blues catch your eye, from the cover of a magazine.
You sneak a peak inside - turns out she?s just turned 18.
Does she know why, she?s lying there wearing only a smile?
Could it be, that she?s just as lost as you and me?

Pre-Chorus

Your eager eyes are mesmerized by the gift that she?s giving away.
You tell yourself it ain?t hurting nobody but you don?t believe a word you say. Who is she anyway?

Chorus

She?s Somebody?s Daughter, she?s a long way from home.
She could be someone?s little kid sister, and she?s all alone.
She dreamed of being a Miss America beauty queen, and all the good deeds that she?d do.
If she?s having such a good time, why does she look so sad to you?

Verse 2

You sleep-walk down the block to catch the ballet, where you pay for a private dance.
And it ain?t exactly Swan Lake, but at least you?re safe from romance.
Would you believe, that Candy has a hungry mouth at home to feed?
Does it show? She?s counting the songs till she gets to go home.

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge

Maybe you could do the little lady a favour, throw her a blanket to cover up what God gave her, when you realize she?s someone?s little girl, making her way in the world?
