When she turned a teen she went astray
With her brothers dealer, so they say
She had the baby yesterday,
Perhaps it's just a rumour.
They kept her prisoner growing up
Told her Jesus was enough
She's really into dirty stuff
Perhaps it's just a rumour.
And if you asked her she'd say...
I'm just tryin' to work how,
How to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
These cards I've been dealt.
See that girl she's looking great
She used to be quite over weight
She may not be entirely straight
Perhaps is just a rumour.
Always did as she was told
Apparently she's on the dole
Spends it all on alcohol
Perhaps it's just a rumour
I'm just tryin' to work how,
How to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
These cards I've been dealt
'Cause she did it, she did it
Her bed is forbidden
He's fitting she isn't
She keeps her face hidden
She told 'em good riddance
Her sister brought with em,
She wishes she didn't
And now they're all singing.
Just tryin' to work how,
How to be like myself.
I'm just tryin to work out,
These cards I've been dealt.
2 x Chorus:
I'm just tryin' to work how,
How to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
These cards I've been dealt.
She did it, she did it
Her bed is forbidden
He's fitting she isn't
She keeps her face hidden
She told 'em good riddance
Her sister brought with em,
She wishes she didn't
And now they're all singing.
I'm just tryin' to work how,
How to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
These cards I've been dealt.
She did it, she did it
Her bed is forbidden
He's fitting she isn't
She keeps her face hidden
She told 'em good riddance
Her sister brought with em,
She wishes she didn't
And now they're all singing
