Here's a real sad song A song that must be sung Think about the days when we were young When we were kids girl all you wanted to do was play But that was then and look at how you're living today It's making me sad and almost brings me tears But you may just open your eyes when the smoke clears Girl what happened to the smile that used to clean Once upon a time in your life you used to dream At the top of the swim team but now you're drownin' How quick your change was the most astounding What you're gonna do is you against the world You started off being such a sweet girl Times go by, and years they start to drift Now you're staring down a deep cliff You can pour but don't overflow the cup Girl you better
CHORUS Ease up So down Girl you better change your life around (ease up) So down (ease up) So down Girl you better change your life around (ease up) So down
No longer kids now we're considered as teens Now we start learning what the letters in life mean You had a good home living the good life - who knows You might have made somebody a good wife How is it wrong when things which are so fun Now you walk around with a body with no mind You entered the gateway to all life choices Your brain was kinda hollow so you followed the voices And you let it mislead ya It took your body and soul and it said that it freed ya Each and every girl like you is a sad case You always have a beautiful look on a sad face It could never be the way that it was But if you're on the dope then that's what the dope does If you pour don't overflow the cup Girl you better
CHORUS
And now it comes to the final solution Robbing and stealing and prostitution Can't you see that your world is a shamble? Life is a big game with plenty of gambles So much time many things that are undone No longer you cause there's you and a young son You got one there are girls with two or three Can't get a fix on 'em it's driving 'em up a tree Just stop and think of your young child Before he winds up as a name in a closed file As I reminisce and take a look back I wish I knew what to do to put you on the right track But yet the train that left the station And your money's on a permanent vacation The more you pour you overflow the cup Girl you better
