Smith St Lyrics

SMITH ST

Woohoo hey hey

Just a child being a child

She didn’t do what you had told her too

Little big-eyed girl in a long world

Maybe she embarrassed you

With your fist you struck her down

You walked away you left her screaming

People lift their feet and step around

I’m just as guilty

You wouldn’t treat a dog like that

Wouldn’t kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back

Woo no

So what else could she do but run to you

When you walked off and left her in the streets all broken down

I can’t understand the force of your hand

With strength of four men wouldn’t knock me off my feet

She was only three

It’s too late for me and my apologies

I still feel guilty for what I did not do

I should have helped you

I bet you’ve been hurt before

And you swore that you never would

Now look into your daughter’s eyes

Are they just a mirror of your own childhood?

You wouldn’t treat a dog like that

You wouldn’t kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back

You wouldn’t treat a dog like that

You wouldn’t kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back

You wouldn’t treat a dog like that

You wouldn’t kick it in the ribs and throw it out the back

Hey ohh

You wouldn’t treat a dog like that

And all we do is turn our backs
