These days, alone with her gin
The state she gets in
When did the thinking begin?
She rolls her eyes in that dreamy way
Says "I'm ok
But why should my life feel this way?"
Oh that girl
She's just a girl
In a hard luck world

Where did she come from?
What will she be?
If her face lights up in the night with a smile
Is there someone to see?
As she opens her eyes I realize
every day is a dream,
It's hard to be who you wanted to be
Oh that girl
She's just a girl
In a hard luck world

I know she finds it hard
She's never tried so hard before
She finds it hard
It breaks your heart
Oh girl
She's just a girl
In a hard luck world
Oh girl
In a hard luck world
Things just happened that way
