you sat at home, the windows tinted black
it hit you hard, and you cried so long
life turned and wandered, never to come back again
take what she gives you
don't feel sorry for her...

when you fell out, out of the starlight inn
you were too hurt to walk, too bad to begin
i looked at the sign, but i couldn't feel sad for you
take what she gives you
oh don't cry when you kiss her...

poor little girl, ran away for good
i try to explain why she won't say a thing
sad, sad thing, i'm so far away, girl
how can i say, why she won't talk at all
she holds her deck of cards, she wants to be alone
"i've been very ill, and i'm tired of waking up
now i want to be alone..."

when you ran out, out of pete's hotel you
you looked so good, and you didn't feel so well
you said "(please) hold me tight"
but i couldn't get it right
take what she gives you
don't feel sorry for her...

poor little girl, ran away for good
i try to explain why she won't say a thing
sad, sad thing, i'm so far away now
how can i say, why she won't talk at all
she holds her deck of cards, she wants to be alone
she still drinks in the dark, the radio is a-left on late
she saw a madman fight, and break it up cuz he hated himself
and she felt better off, cuz she was only drunk
