Frightened Kid Lyrics

Rose Tattoo Frightened Kid

There was nowhere to run in the family When mum and dad started fighting Her brothers and sisters turning away They were frightened

Though she worked hard at school She never pulled a trick The secrets to learning escaped her The teacher said you're just a slow achiever

CHORUS Just a frightened kid Just a frightened kid She's just a frightened kid

Just a frightened kid There was nowhere to run And there was nowhere to hide Her tortured young mind It was screaming Hey There's a person in here starting to drown Won't you save me

I've got things in my head I can't understand I need some love and a helping hand And her parents said We just don't believe ya

CHORUS

She's wild on the streets Just a frightened kid Wild and alone Just a frightened kid She ran away and hid Just a frightened kid
