Wondering


By the bright city lights 

She works 

Paycheck to paycheck

Wondering, wondering

Where she went wrong.

 

She gave up her life 

For a guy 

Just some guy

He wined her and dined her 

Till he got what he wanted.

 

Now her baby

She sleeps

So sweetly, so gently

While she sits near and wonders 

When she'll ask where he is.
