Lyrics
Just twelve years old when she found out.
Mom and Dad don't even care what Pattys all about
Poor Patty , Poor Poor Patty
Shes running from things, she don't know why
Running around just getting high
Poor Patty, Poor Poor Patty.
Shes been the abuse of many a man
Poor Patty
Now sweet sixteen, still so young
What could Patty know?
Who cares?
Thats what she has learned!
Poor Patty, Poor Poor Patty
Shes been the abuse of many a man
Poor Patty
Now she sits in Ithaca state jail
The abuse of many a man
Who's fault is it?
Poor Patty?
No poor you!
Not Poor Patty!
Poor Poor you!
