On the corner, by the school
That's where they warn her to keep her cool
She shrugs her shoulders, it's this again,
Same old story, just different men
And all those who ask where she goes,
They know
They must know
In the hostel, curtains drawn
something precious is lost and gone
No-one to turn to, no-one to help
She has to face this by herself
And all those who ask where she goes,
They know
They must know
And all those who act like sho chose
They know
They must know
I don't hide and I don't lie
All this is right here in my eyes
Just waiting for you to see
If you would only look at me
Frozen till I hear someone say,
"Hey, kid - are okay?"
