You was just a little girl and your daddy he wasnt there

Mama didnt buy you clothes cause she spent it all on her hair

She was runnin' the streets and leavin' you everywhere

You cried to go with her but knew that she didnt care

Cause she left you alone and never gave you the time

Only 10 years old feelin rejection in your mind

All you had was imagination and your teddy bears

Cryin' late at night asking God to erase your fears

But he aint talk back so thought that he didnt hear

All you had was yourself but you aint need nobody else
