Innocent Girl

I never used to hang with all the famous names
All the Jersey boys are worried about is getting in the hall of fame
I rocked them in LA, I rocked them in New York
I sang, “Don’t be cruel,” in Memphis down on Elvis Presley Boulevard

So baby, don’t you worry
We’ll get there in a hurry
Life is just a game of chance

And everybody knows you were an innocent girl
I’m the one they’re after, this isn’t such a beautiful world

I hear the drums of war beating once again
Isn’t this exactly what was happening when I came in
If love is what you want, if love is what you need
You better catch a train to heaven, I’ll let you ride along with me

And everybody knows you were an innocent girl
I’m the one they’re after, this isn’t such a beautiful world
People like to see you fall when you climb to the top
They try to turn you into something you’re not

I’ve made a lot of friends, I’ve spent a lot of dough
Nearly killed myself a hundred times, at least that’s how the story goes
I’m walking into the sun, the sun is gonna set.
Out of every life I’ve ever lived, I think this is my favorite yet

Everybody knows you were an innocent girl
I’m the one they’re after, this isn’t such a beautiful world
People like to see you fall when you climb to the top
People like to see you fall when you’re hot
