Hard 16!

Daddy didn't care, mama wasn't there, Jenny slammed the door to her heart

Packed a suitcase of anger, no one tried to save her

She headed for the city that shines in the dark

But the lights fade away, when you're young on the streets, without a friend

Jenny learned to survive, put a price on the nights that never end

She's hard 16, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much

She's hard 16, will her soul run dry by 17?

The face of innocence doesn't stand a chance

Between the losers, the takers, the lost

So Jenny never cried, locked her pain inside

She's trapped in a time bomb ready to blow

There will come a day when the mirror reveals a total stranger

Another lonely runaway in a living hell

She's turning hard 16, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much

She's hard 16, will her soul run dry

Jenny, please come home - please come home

You've got so much to give, so much life to live, so come home

(Solo)

She's hard 16, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much

She's hard 16, will her soul run dry - 16!

Hard 16, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much

Hard 16, will her soul run dry

Hard 16 - her daddy didn't care, her mama wasn't there

Hard 16, will her soul run dry

Hard 16, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much

Hard 16, will her soul run dry by 17?
