She's getting touched in
The wrong places
As a young girl
Now people wonder
Why she's with a man
Twice her age
They say she has daddy issues
But I disagree
She has other issues
Issue with self-esteem
The man that did this
To her
Doesn't deserve the title
Of dad
She's the runway
She sells her soul to
The devil
Who beats her
And steals her money
She gives up herself up
To disturbing men
Three times her age
Her boyfriend
Doesn't love her
She tries to be strong
But she's barely holding on
Her pimp makes her wear a
Skimpy thong
And she has to do what he says
Or she risks getting killed
Dancing in the club
With a bedazzled g-string
And clear heels
A man takes her aside
Saying that she is his
He takes advantage of her
Destroys her future
Takes away her hopes
And dreams
Instead of learning numbers
She's learning to suck and blow
Instead of learning letters
She's as a young as five years old
This happens everyday
Check your airport
And your hotels
In fact check everywhere
We arrest them
Without knowing their story
And it makes it so much harder
For them to get back on their feet
Or even just to eat
We'd rather take a leap
And assume they like it
She sells her soul to
The devil
Who beats her
And steals her money
She gives up herself up
To disturbing men
Three times her age
Her boyfriend
Doesn't love her
She tries to be strong
But she's barely holding on
Her pimp makes her wear a
Skimpy thong
And she has to do what he says
Or she risks getting killed
Women don't deserve this
Children don't deserve this
Transgender People don't deserve this
Nobody deserves this
Yet, it happens all the time
Little bit of vodka with some lime
Will keep her in line
Till She's so drunk
She can't walk a line
But she's still someone's
Little girl
Many faces
But the same fate
She's the runway
She sells her soul to
The devil
Who beats her
And steals her money
She gives up herself up
To disturbing men
Three times her age
Her boyfriend
Doesn't love her
She tries to be strong
But she's barely holding on
Her pimp makes her wear a
Skimpy thong
And she has to do what he says
Or she risks getting killed
