about

the long lost sister of "Not The Only Girl"

lyrics

16- HEY GIRL (eric block)
daddy was a heartless pretender
empty, unfeeling, unknown
beat your mama down like a hammer
just wouldn’t leave her alone
she’d hold you and cry out her story
so broken and bitter with pain
she said, “child give your heart out to no one,
no one”

but hey girl
you don’t have to work it that way, girl
you’ve got to live in today, girl
somebody’s waiting for you

Learned your lesson well, sadder story
no one would take you alive
give the fellas hell, in your glory
love that can cut like a knife
you stare at a face in the mirror
unbroken, unfeeling, unknown
you’re alone with a heart meant for no one,
no one

but hey girl
you don’t have to work it that way, girl
you’ve got to live in today, girl
somebody’s waiting for you

you’ve got the shoes and the hat but you
ain’t got no heart
breaking the circle of pain is a start

you stare at a face in the mirror
unbroken, unfeeling, unknown
you’re alone with a heart meant for no one,
no one

(repeat chorus)
