Lucy Kaplansky Amelia Lyrics

My name is Amelia, I used to be a pretty girl
Got married cause it was time
No reason to finish school
He didn't know how to be kind
I just took it on the chin
Never did learn to fight him
Gave up everything to him

Now the kids are all long gone
Busy and far away
Never found much for myself out there
So it's here I stay
But I've got a little money
I hid around this home
Too old to spend it now
It's just a little something of my own

This is my story like so many girls before
Just another story that doesn't matter anymore

Ah, there's a pretty little girl
I see from time to time
Got her picture here next to me
Seeing myself in her sometimes
She holds on to what is hers
She's got nothing she needs to hide
She gives it away when she wants to
And this one knows how to fight

The world outside her room
Is a place she calls her own
My story is almost over
Hers has just begun

I slip her a few dollars
When nobody can see
A little something of my own
For that sweet girl for me

This is my story like so many girls before
Just another story that doesn't matter anymore

This is my story like so many girls before
Just another story that doesn't matter anymore

My story is almost over
Hers has just begun
She's telling it to everyone
