[Verse 1]
Far beyond a little girl
I was only 17 when I left home
I was only 13 when I was grown
You always said I could've been mother born again

[Chorus]
Listen to my words, I'm only singing to you
Won't you listen to my words?

[Verse 2]
Beneath the skin of your perfect world
Stands a man with a cruel hand and an empty heart
And that empty house where I was born
Kindled with such loving care I was never shown

[Chorus]
Listen to my words, I'm only singing to you
Won't you listen to my words?

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
Listen to my words, I'm only singing to you
Won't you listen to my words?
