[Verse 1]
When she turned eighteen she went astray
With her brother's dealer, so they say
She had their baby yesterday
Perhaps it's just a rumour
They kept her prisoner growing up
Told her Jesus was enough
She's really into dirty stuff
Perhaps it's just a rumour
And if you asked her she'd say

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to work out
How to be like myself
I'm just trying to work out
These cards I've been dealt

[Verse 2]
See that girl she's looking great
She used to be quite overweight
She may not be entirely straight
Perhaps it's just a rumour
Always did as she was told
Apparently she's on the dole
Spends it all on alcohol
Perhaps it's just a rumour

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to work out
How to be like myself
I'm just trying to work out
These cards I've been dealt

[Bridge]
Cause she did it, she did it
Her bed is forbidden
He's fit and she isn't
She keeps her face hidden
She told him good riddance
Her sister got with him
She wishes she didn't
And now they're all singing

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to work out
How to be like myself
I'm just trying to work out
These cards I've been dealt
I'm just trying to work out
How to be like myself
I'm just trying to work out
These cards I've been dealt

[Bridge]
Cause she did it, she did it
Her bed is forbidden
He's fit and she isn't
She keeps her face hidden
She told him good riddance
Her sister got with him
She wishes she didn't
And now they're all singing

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to work out
How to be like myself
I'm just trying to work out
These cards I've been dealt
I'm just trying to work out
How to be like myself
I'm just trying to work out
These cards I've been dealt
