Pressure
Long hair, hazel eyes, and thick curvy hips
He tells her that he loves her, with every tender kiss
She doesn’t think she’s ready, but she knows what’s in store
She wants hugs and kisses, but her boyfriend wants more
He tells her that he can handle it, and he doesn’t need protection
And he promises that after this, he’ll still show her love and affection
So here she is 3 months later, about 10 pounds she’s gained
Too scared to go to school anymore, because she’s so ashamed
Those gentle words her boyfriend told her, she doesn’t hear anymore
As soon as she told him she was pregnant, he walked right out the door.
Out went their love, out went their plans
Out went the memories and now she’s back where she began.
15, all alone, with no high school education
Lost all hope for life, lost all self-determination
When it seemed as all was lost, and she thought there was no chance
She met someone else who made her heart sing and dance
He said if she loved him she would try just a little coke
He said one time wouldn’t hurt her baby, at least that’s what she’d hoped, God she hoped
All she remembers is taking one big sniff
She felt like the queen of the world, on top of a giant cliff
All of a sudden she passed out, and fell and hit her head
She woke up a week later, in a warm hospital bed
She reached down to her stomach, its very tragic what she came upon
She asked the nurse where’s her baby, the nurse lowered her head and replied “she’s gone”
Long-haired, hazel-eyed, thick curvy girl
Don’t fall for his tricks, even if he says you’re his world
What you have is sacred, just like a buried treasure
So please beautiful girl don’t fall under the pressure
