Lyrics

THE POOR GIRL IN A RICH KID'S TOWN

My friends are straightening their hair
And trying on new shades of make-up
It's Friday night they have no cares
Except maybe their latest break-up

Mom is crying on the couch, our bills are piling higher
That's really why I can't go out- but Dad, I'm one good liar

I'm THE POOR GIRL IN A RICH KID'S TOWN
But that's not why I get so down
I just don't -just don't
Understand
How you
Could walk right out
-And not give a damn

On Monday my school project's due
I'll baby-sit to get the money
I hate feeling like I'm worth less
When I try more than anybody

My brother plans on dropping out- he just can't seem to focus
But back when he made honor roll- he knows you didn't notice

I'm THE POOR GIRL IN A RICH KID'S TOWN
But that's not why I get so down
I just don't -just don't
Understand
How you
Could walk right out
-And not give a damn

So Daddy tell me- did you ever try
To see this world through my eyes?
The eyes that look like yours...
You know you could have been my hero
Without even trying
All you ever had to do was walk back through the door

Now I'm
I'm THE POOR GIRL IN A RICH KID'S TOWN
But that's not why I get so down
I just don't -just don't
Understand
How you
Could walk right out
-And not give a damn

The first few lines and I was thinking "wow, sounds like Pink!" - the style of it. The lyric's pretty good, means something and the vocal quality is quite strong. I can't much fault to it, instrumentation - tick, arrangement - tick, vocal - tick. It's a solid piece of quality work! It definitely has market potential!

Very original song. The piano arrangement is really well done and sounds very good.
