OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS

by dolvas

OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS Advice a mother gives to her teenage daughter Reminding her of the morals that she has taught her OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS Moms says with trust in her eyes As she says goodbye Daughter please be wise OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS The voice still haunts As she begins to flaunt To get the attention she wants OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS The words she hears in her head As she is being lead To her boyfriends bed OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS Is now just a whisper As he begins to kiss her Mind in a twister OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS Advice that was given Now in regret she is living The belly cant be hidden CLOSE YOUR EYES AND OPEN YOUR LEGS Her mother shouts As her fatherless baby comes out Dolvas
