Lost Cause

[Intro]

That's right, we all get left behind

It's just a fact

Maybe that's why people have guns

Won't help though, just a fact

One more time

[Verse 1]

Jessie was a good girl

Went to a good school

Her daddy's little pride and joy

Up until she reached twelve

She never rebelled

And then she went and met a boy

Now, he was never good for her

About six years older

Parents thought it was a phase

Started calling on God

By the time that they tried

It was just too late

[Pre-Chorus]

Better off giving up, did not change enough

Nothing but trouble flowing in her blood

Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain

Would do anything to touch the flame

[Chorus]

She was a lost cause

She was just too far gone, gone

Now there's no turning back

Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong),  wrong (wrong), wrong

She was a lost cause

She was just too far gone, gone

Now there's no turning back

Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong),  wrong (wrong), wrong

[Verse 2]

Now, by the age of sixteen

Couldn't tell her a thing

Cause Jessie seemed to know it all

She was helping her boyfriend

Cook up some methadrine

And got in trouble with the law

Now everybody knew

That she wasn't that bad

But it was either her or him

They set her up and she lied

The judge gave her three-to-five

And Jessie ended up inside

[Pre-Chorus]

Better off giving up, did not change enough

Nothing but trouble flowing in her blood

Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain

Would do anything to touch the flame

[Chorus]

She was a lost cause

She was just too far gone, gone

Now there's no turning back

Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

She was a lost cause

She was just too far gone, gone

Now there's no turning back

Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

[Refrain]

Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way

And there ain't nothing you can do to change it

Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way

And there ain't nothing you can do to change

[Pre-Chorus]

Better off giving up, did not change enough

Nothing but trouble flowing in her blood

Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain

Would do anything to touch the flame

[Chorus]

She was a lost cause

She was just too far gone, gone

Now there's no turning back

Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

She was a lost cause

(Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way)

She was just too far gone, gone

Now there's no turning back

(And there ain't nothing you can do to change)

Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
