A Young Girl (Une Enfante) - Cher

She left her neighborhood in which\nEveryone was filthy rich\nShe left her parents at home\nAnd strayed with a bagabond\nWho made vows of love she never heard\nAnd she believed his every word\nShe left no forwarding address\nShe just took her youth and happiness\nAnd with the boy she vanished in\nThe secret sweetness of their sin\nA young girl\nA young girl of sixteen\nChild of springtime still green\nLaying there by the road\nHe told her love-demanded space\nSo they roam place to place\nAlthough she realized she sinned\nShe threw caution to the wind\nAs she followed him around\nWhile he slowly dragged her down\nSo overpowering was the love\nThat he had made\nIt captured all the young girl’s hearts\nAnd soul and mine\nIn another words love drove her blind\nA young girl\nA young girl of sixteen\nChild of springtime still green\nLaying there by the road\nToo much emotion for a girl\nShe let her heart become her world\nA world that God has never wrought\nThat brought us under we are taught\nHad she’d been wise and she had known\nShe could of fed him love alone\nShe should’ve know the day would come\nWhen he would quit her for fun\nHe needed fresh young meat to carve\nAnd left her heart and mind to starve
