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?
