Just Fourteen
She gets to school just after eight
She is three months late
The teacher's face is looking grim
The other girls already know
They stop their work and turn and stare
Their hostel eyes are shining bright
And she can see no end in sight
She knows her mother must be told
Her doctors say she must be bold
Her father's not around to care
It is a fact
Small town girl whose only just fourteen
Finds a world outside
She longs to find
A place to run and hide
The doctors say she must begin again
Not even her boyfriend
And she longs to find
A way to change their mind
There's nothing more that she can say
They want to take the child away
She cries herself to sleep at night
And holds herself so very tight
Her friends don't seem to want to know
Her mother says I told you so
Her tears fall down without a sound
She wonders what will happen now
The day before she is so scared
She knows that she is not prepared
She squeezes, let it go away
Please let it stay
Small town girl whose only just fourteen
Finds a world outside
And she longs to find
A place to run and hide
Her doctors say she must begin again
She must begin again
Not even her boyfriend
And she longs to find
A way to change their mind
Small town girl whose only just fourteen
Finds a world outside
And she longs to find
A place to run and hide
The doctors say she must begin again
Not even her boyfriend
And she longs to find
A way to change their mind
She is three months late
The teacher's face is looking grim
The other girls already know
They stop their work and turn and stare
Their hostel eyes are shining bright
And she can see no end in sight
She knows her mother must be told
Her doctors say she must be bold
Her father's not around to care
It is a fact
Small town girl whose only just fourteen
Finds a world outside
She longs to find
A place to run and hide
The doctors say she must begin again
Not even her boyfriend
And she longs to find
A way to change their mind
There's nothing more that she can say
They want to take the child away
She cries herself to sleep at night
And holds herself so very tight
Her friends don't seem to want to know
Her mother says I told you so
Her tears fall down without a sound
She wonders what will happen now
The day before she is so scared
She knows that she is not prepared
She squeezes, let it go away
Please let it stay
Small town girl whose only just fourteen
Finds a world outside
And she longs to find
A place to run and hide
Her doctors say she must begin again
She must begin again
Not even her boyfriend
And she longs to find
A way to change their mind
Small town girl whose only just fourteen
Finds a world outside
And she longs to find
A place to run and hide
The doctors say she must begin again
Not even her boyfriend
And she longs to find
A way to change their mind
