Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All alone she was livin'
In a world without an end or beginnin'
Baby girl was livin' life for the villain
But I don't mind, I don't mind, oh
[Verse 2]
And all the wrongs she committed
She was numb and she was so codependent
She was young and all she had was the city
But I don't mind, I don't mind
[Verse 3]
And I know, that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up, she's always gone, gone, gone, oh
[Verse 4]
In the night she hears it callin'
In the night she's dancin' to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away
I don't think you understand
In the night when she comes crawlin'
Dollar bills and tears keep fallin' down her face
She'll never walk away
I don't think you understand
[Verse 5]
He sang a song when he did it
He was cold and he was so unforgiving
Now she dances to the song on the minute
Yeah, all the time, all the time, oh
[Verse 6]
It make her weak when she hear it
And it got her on her knees like religion
She was young and she was forced to be a woman
Yeah, all the time, all the time
[Verse 7]
And I know, that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone, oh
[Verse 8]
In the night she hears it callin'
In the night she's dancin' to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away
I don't think you understand
In the night when she comes crawlin'
Dollar bills and tears keep fallin' down her face
She'll never walk away
I don't think you understand
[Verse 9]
Oh baby
I don't think you understand, I don't think you understand
No no no no, I don't think you understand
[Verse 10]
In the night she hears it callin'
In the night she's dancin' to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away
I don't think you understand
In the night when she comes crawlin'
Dollar bills and tears keep fallin' down her face
She'll never walk away
I don't think you understand
