She runs around in the dirty streets
To find her latest of fix
Confusing all with the words she speaks
She's on the edge and she's close to turning her tricks

Slow down little lady, you're moving too fast
There's another way to go
Slow down and darling maybe you can break through the glass
And give yourself a dice to throw

Maybe someday she'd smile, take a trip down the Nile
Reach the top of the pile
Live her own life of wealth with a family
But right now she needs to brave the fight to get herself
She needs to get herself talking right, walking right
Kicking leaves on an autumn night
And I guess God only knows just how her life unfurls
If we could only help the girl

She feels the cold of a strong morning wind
As she readies up for the day
Nobody's given her anything, no time or love, no
That's why she ran down the way

Slow down little lady, you're moving too fast
There's another way to go
Slow down and darling maybe you can break through the glass
And give yourself a dice to throw

There could be times where she'd smile
take a trip down the Nile
Reach the top of the pile
Live her own life of wealth with a family
But right now she needs to brave the fight to get herself
She needs to get herself talking right, walking right
Kicking leaves on an autumn night
And I guess God only knows just how her life unfurls
If only we could help the girl
Won't somebody help the girl?
Why won't somebody help the girl?

Smile, take a trip down the Nile
Reach the top of the pile
Live your own life of wealth with a family
But right now she needs to brave the fight to get herself
She needs to get herself talking right, walking right
Kicking leaves on an autumn night
And I guess God only knows just how her life unfurls
Surely we could help the girl?
