Sad Girl

I seen her at a stoplight on Alverano

Was sittin' in a pearl white Eldorado

In a gangsta lean, she was revvin' the throttle

Got a sticker on the bumper, say's she like techano

She looked like Selena

The truth couldn't be plainer

She like a gangster boogie

Her Mommy calls her Cookie

Her friends call her a sad girl

'Coz her man went away

And he ain't never comin' back

So cry another tattoo sea

Sad girl livin' on the east side of the city

Proud woman boy, she don't want none of your pity

Sad girl, got no one to rely on

Proud woman don't need your shoulder to cry on

I seen her at the market, she was pushin' a stroller

Smokin' on a cigarette, drinkin' a soda

Laughin' at a joke that somebody just told her

Got her baby's name tattooed on the back of her shoulder

She looked like an Angel

She talked like the Devil

She feels like a stranger

She lived like a rebel

She's a sad girl

'Coz her man went away

And he ain't never comin' back

So cry another tattoo sea

Sad girl livin' on the east side of the city

Proud woman boy, she don't want none of your pity

Sad girl, got no one to rely on

Proud woman don't need your shoulder to cry on

Face sad girl, we can take this slow

Baby, what you lookin' for? Let me know

You say you wanna man that can give you some dough

You say, "Buy my baby shoes and buy him a coat

And buy my baby food to put down his throat"

I won't play you like a hoe, it ain't like that, yo

Let me holla at you later, we can go to the show

I ain't tryna rock the boat, I'm tryna keep you afloat

I seen her at the post office mailin' a letter

She couldn't send no money but she made him a sweater

She's talkin' on the pay phone and somethin' upset her

I really wanna hold her but I only just met her

But I could tell she'd been crying

She said she felt like dyin'

She never been so alone, no

She gotta make it on her own now

She's a sad girl

'coz her man went away

And he ain't never comin' back

Sad girl livin' on the east side of the city

Proud woman boy, she don't want none of your pity

Sad girl, got no one to rely on

Proud woman don't need your shoulder to cry on

Sad girl

Sad girl

Sad girl
