The Girl (Chapter 2) Songtext
von Jamie Webster

She runs around in the dirty streets
To find her latest of fix
Confusin′ all with the words she speaks
She's on the edge and
She′s close to turnin' her tricks

Slow down, little lady, you're movin′ too fast
There′s another way to go
Slow down and darlin', maybe you′ll break through the glass
And give yourself a dice to throw

Maybe someday she'd smile, take a trip down the Nile
Reach the top of the pile
Live her own life of wealth, with a family
But right now she needs to brave the fight, to get herself
She needs to get herself talkin′ right, walkin' right
Kickin′ leaves on an autumn night
And I guess God only knows how her life unfurls
If we could only help the girl


She feels the cold of a strong mornin' wind
As she readies up for the day
Nobody's given her anythin′, no time or love, no
That′s why she ran down the way

Slow down, little lady, you're movin′ too fast
There's another way to go
Slow down and, darlin′, maybe you can break through the glass
And give yourself a dice to throw

There could be times where she'd smile, take a trip down the Nile
Reach the top of the pile
Live her own life of wealth, with a family
But right now she needs to brave the fight, to get herself
She needs to get herself talkin′ right, walkin' right
Kickin' leaves on an autumn night
And I guess God only knows how her life unfurls
If only we could help the girl

Won′t somebody help the girl?
Why won′t somebody help the girl?


Smile, take a trip down the Nile
Reach the top of the pile
Live her own life of wealth, with a family
But right now she needs to brave the fight, to get herself
She needs to get herself talkin' right, walkin′ right
Kickin' leaves on an autumn night
And I guess God only knows just how her life unfurls
Surely we could help the girl
