TOO YOUNG TO KNOW

Lucy down at the corner,
She's only sixteen,
She's ran away from home,
She's hooked on heroin.
Oh Lord, have mercy on her sinking soul.
Oh Lord have mercy, she's too young to know.

The so-called friends she hangs with
Just use her for their kicks,
Rip her off, abuse her,
And just to get a fix.
Oh Lord, have mercy on her sinking soul.
Oh Lord have mercy, she's too young to know.

She stopped me in the street,
She asked me for spare change,
She's got no place to go
And she ain't got no friends.
Oh Lord, have mercy on her sinking soul.
Oh Lord have mercy, she's too young to know.

Her old folks used to beat her up
And her wounds still are sore,
And she feels no love
But only hate for this world.
Oh Lord, have mercy on her sinking soul.
Oh Lord have mercy, she's too young to know.

And her junkie boyfriend
Just wanna fuck around,
And she's on the run
With the cops chasing her down.
Oh Lord, have mercy on her sinking soul.
Oh Lord have mercy, she's too young to know.

I believe to my soul
This old world is bound to end,
And she ain't got no time left
To change or even understand.
Oh Lord, have mercy on her sinking soul.
Oh Lord have mercy, she's too young to know.

Oh Lord, have mercy on our sinking souls.
Oh Lord have mercy, she's too young to know.
