my life is in a turmoil my thighs are black and blue my sheets are stained so is my brain what s a girl to do oh what s a girl to do i passed out with a novel or a needle in my hand i passed out with a ragdoll and i passed out with a man i say my 3 hail marys i barely paint my face my friends decay around me and i view them with distaste my life is is in a turmoil my thighs are black and blue my sheets are stained so is my brain what s a girl to do oh what s a girl to do well some girls have a mission and some girls have their work some marry with precision and some just dish the dirt and once i had a lover and i once had a profession and once i laughed at nothing and they called it a depression i ve tried dancing up and down the wrong side of the tracks and i ve walked on the right side or just lay here on my back so i think i ll quit while i m behind now that i m 22 my sheets are stained so is my brain what s a girl to do oh what s a girl to do
