Lyrics

Katie

Katie I don't believe you and that's the bottom line How could this have gone on before my very eyes? Well if you're trying to make me cry Well I'm crying But what you tell me, oh, that's gotta be a lie All I ever wanted for you kid was a life unlike mine No knock on the door and no drag to floor every night I can't have it be true for you too I can't believe you It would cut me to the bone To know that I let that man into our home Not baby, no Katie, not you
