Why So Sad? - Hoodoo Gurus

Does anyone know how it feels

To sacrifice your high ideals?

You’ve been a fool and that’s the truth

Thinking your heart was bulletproof

Why so sad, little girl?

What you had, little girl

Turned out bad, little girl

Little girl

You don’t need self-help books to know

The proper time for letting go

I couldn’t say the grass is green

But can’t be worse than where you’ve been

Why so sad, little girl?

What you had, little girl

Turned out bad, little girl

Little girl

Though you tried, little girl

Something died, little girl

Wounded pride, little girl

Little girl

Nobody ever wants to lose

But we don’t get to pick and choose

Did no one warn you in advance

You wouldn’t have a second chance?

Even so, little girl

Let it go, little girl

'Cause you’re no little girl

Little girl

Take it slow, little girl

And lay low, little girl

But you’re no little girl

Little girl
