Oh girl, with your mother's eyes so blue
What does life have in store for you?
Sincere detestation of love
Only good Lord knows, He knows well from above

See a little one here and a little one there
Close your eyes to the pain that's everywhere
Your hurt will disappear, maybe
But you know in your heart, girl, you've got to be free

Be gone, bring back the innocence
Be gone, away with the jealousness
Be gone, sometimes I feel the strain
I can't help my ways and so now I must say

All the love you had has slowly slipped away
Brutal memories of what your father used to say
So you're married now, does that justify abuse?
Starting over now, a risk is worth the use

All the pain that you had when you were young
Won't disappear now that you've begun
To act on your own in a normal way
You know in your heart deep inside you must say

Be gone, bring back the innocence
Be gone, away with the jealousness
Be gone, sometimes I feel the strain
I can't help my ways and so now I must say

Oh girl, with your mother's eyes so blue
What does life have in store for you?
Sincere detestation of love
Only good Lord knows, He knows well from above

See a little one here and a little one there
Close your eyes to the pain that's everywhere
Your hurt will disappear maybe
But you know in your heart, girl, you've got to be free

Be gone, bring back the innocence
Be gone, away with the jealousness
Be gone, sometimes I feel the strain
I can't help my ways and so now I must say

Be gone, bring back the innocence
Be gone, away with the jealousness
Be gone, sometimes I feel the strain
I can't help my ways and so now I must say

Be gone, bring back the innocence
Be gone, away with the jealousness
Be gone, sometimes I feel the strain
I can't help my ways and so now I must say

Be gone, bring back the innocence
Be gone, away with the jealousness
Be gone, sometimes I feel the strain
I can't help my ways and so now I must say
