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"
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
When thoughts in your mind were 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 loving and a helping hand
And her parents said "we just don't believe ya"
So she's just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
She's just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid (yeah)
(Just a frightened kid) and 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) now dig this
She tried hard to kick herself free
The noose grew tighter and tighter
She was looking for love
But all around it seems
Everybody just wants to fight her
Just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
And she's wild on the streets
(Just a frightened kid) she's alone on the streets
(Just a frightened kid) wow, she's wild on the streets
(Just a frightened kid) Oh, she's just a frightened kid
Wild in the streets
Just a frightened kid
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"
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
When thoughts in your mind were 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 loving and a helping hand
And her parents said "we just don't believe ya"
So she's just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
She's just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid (yeah)
(Just a frightened kid) and 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) now dig this
She tried hard to kick herself free
The noose grew tighter and tighter
She was looking for love
But all around it seems
Everybody just wants to fight her
Just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
Just a frightened kid
And she's wild on the streets
(Just a frightened kid) she's alone on the streets
(Just a frightened kid) wow, she's wild on the streets
(Just a frightened kid) Oh, she's just a frightened kid
Wild in the streets
Just a frightened kid
