Amy's got a precious heart
That's much too big for a young life's start
There's too much that she tries to comprehend
She cannot stand it
She's giving all she's got
To get along, to get them off
To get off all those troubles on her soul
She's out of control

Amy's only seventeen
When she got out of the velvet scene
She really had the feeling to be all alone
She's been far from home
She's giving all she got
To get along, to get them off
To get off all these troubles on her soul
Such a heavy load

I came to know her
Once in my life
And I hope the next time
She changed her way of keeping memories
Just as she likes them to be remembered

She has got to do it on her own
Everybody's got to leave her alone
She has got to do it on her own
Everybody's got to leave her alone
