Lyrics
Innocence Lost
Words and music by Alan Cartee & Jon Moore
Copyright and publishing 2003 Cartee Day Entertainment
He was 16, I was 13
He had experience, it was my first time
Entangled in a hot summer night
Sex forever changed my life
Innocence lost,
Make a mistake, bear the cross
Innocence lost,
Society frown, pays the cost
I got pregnant, but didn?t get married
Delivery room, sweating nervously
Heard my new born baby cry
I became a woman but he couldn?t be a man
Chorus
Mothers and fathers, God knows they try
Young girls think they?re ladies
Young boys do it, escape responsibility
But we?re really just babies having babies
Chorus out
