His name was Perry
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin
His father sent him to his death
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
Her name was Naomi
Beautiful round face, so ashamed
Told me how to please a man
After school in the back of the bus
She was doing it every day
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
Her name was Sheryl
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was a very good friend
Her father would come to her in the night
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
His name was Donovan
He was a very good friend
The cards were stacked against him
He was selling cocaine
The last time I saw him
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
His name was Charles
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then I had to move away
Then he began to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don't know where he is
I don't know where they are
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin
His father sent him to his death
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
Beautiful round face, so ashamed
Told me how to please a man
After school in the back of the bus
She was doing it every day
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was a very good friend
Her father would come to her in the night
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
He was a very good friend
The cards were stacked against him
He was selling cocaine
The last time I saw him
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then I had to move away
Then he began to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don't know where he is
I don't know where they are

Worst make-out song ever.

Your hand is not in the mood anyway...
these lyrics are so raw, they make me feel as if i'm crashing down and there's nothing to grab on to. i love cat power. they are so talented, but this song radiates despair.
This song is a wake up call. How the people in the world, even at such a young age, are emotionally & phyically messed up.. It's such a sad sad world.
H-hey? Where's the comments for this beautiful number?
This song is hard to stomach.
I agree. This song tears me to pieces, the way she sings it.
My girlfriend actually got me to download this.. and I absolutely love the song.. the way she sings it..the piano chords.. and just how truthful it all is.. I'm 17 and I know a couple of kids like in this song.. such a sad world we're living in..
This song really breaks my heart.
I was just working on an essay about the biggest challenge in my life, which was my childhood sexual abuse, and then i noticed the lyrics to this song playing on my mp3 player... i had never noticed the lyrics before.
my god. it makes me cry. especially because they hit home.
my goodness. i cant believe the lyrics. all this time i listened but i never caught it. my gosh. i agree it is very hard to stomach.
we do indeed live in a very depressing world with depressing people.
