16 Years Old
Where are all my friends?
I thought we were so tight.
Chrissy hasn’t came around,
Jessie, Annie and Stacy too.
These walls are closing in,
Where oh where is everybody?

Jake hasn’t called in weeks,
We were supposed to go to prom next month.
I heard he is closer to Jamie, that girl is toast.
Last we spoke, he said call later,
Last I saw him, he said see you tonight,
Its been five months, here I wait.

School is a drag, that is why I’m home.
Seven months ago I ruled that place,
Seven months ago I had a following,
Yep seven months ago I owned that place,
A party was not complete without me,
A party was no party without my girls,
My girls, haven’t seen them in months.

I was the it girl,
Look at me today.
Mama warned me I was too fast,
Daddy told me to be a kid,
But I wanted fame, I wanted fun.
Tears won’t stop pouring.

Mandy cries, she curls up,
And right then, her baby kicks.
