Genevieve

Lyrics

Father's just a voice That you talk to On the telephone And Mother's wrapped up In some kind of business She's better left alone Modern mom and dad Don't know what to say They're always too busy Or so far away Modern mom and dad They love you so And they're holding out hope For your tomorrow Genevieve What's a young girl to do? Oh, Genevieve There's only so much Mom and dad can do Fifteen years old Doing hard time The learning wrong from right Dreaming of places You gotta to be In the heat of the night You try so hard To make us see That you're so much older than you appear to be You're hoping to find A woman in you You know you'll do anything that I tell you to do Genevieve It's all up to you Oh, Genevieve There's only so much Mom and dad can do Growing up In the middle of a danger zone You're growing up It's make it or break it With this desperate crowd And this town is tough And tougher when you're on your own So please Don't you leave, Genevieve All alone Oh, Genevieve My Genevieve Oh, Genevieve My Genevieve, yeah Don't leave, oh, oh, now My Genevieve Genevieve
