Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
[Verse 2]
Uh, and if she's comin' she's shown no more
She's heard no whistle blowin' from the door
She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
[Verse 3]
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side all your life
You were on your own
[Verse 4]
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lost yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
[Verse 5]
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
