Lyrics
STARRY-EYED
VERSE 1
Look at little Sally
starry-eyed again
don't know where she's goin'
don't know where she's been
Chorus
Well, you know
she's always been
a daddy's girl
Na na na na na naaah ooh
na na noo, na na noo
VERSE 2
Look at big Ben
cracked up again
smokin' and a snortin'
says it isn't a sin
Chorus
Well, you know
he's always been
a mama's boy
na na na na na ooh
na na...
VERSE 3
Strung out high
you're willing to die
momma and daddy
always cry
Chorus
well you know
they only want their son
their little girl
well you know
they only want their son
their little girl
ooh na na...
VERSE 2
Little Sally and Big Ben
won't have to suffer again
died from an OD
saying help me
Chorus (2x)
