I went to the party with my best friend, Mom It was a Saturday night, what was there to do? I didn’t think it would end like this, Mom You should see it up here, I know you would love the view “Come with me”, she said “We will only be dancing.” “Wear that dress, you look good in red” “You’ll have all the boys glancing” So I went to the bar, Mom This boy bought me a drink But things started going too far, Mom When he shot his friends a wink I started feeling faint, Mom After only having a few sips The boy I dreamed of marrying would have been a saint, Mom But this one was grabbing at my hips “Come on, let’s get out of here” “I’ll take you to my place” I never even liked beer, Mom It made me too red in the face So I stumbled out of the bar, Mom Five boys were carrying me, actually maybe four They took me to their car, Mom While smiling, they slammed the door My friend was too drunk to care She didn’t even notice I was gone, Mom Tell the boys to stop pulling my hair Please make them stop, this has been going on for far too long The boy was so nice at first I actually thought he liked me They finally stopped but it hurts, Mom There is a big gash on my knee He told his friends they could share, Mom They treated me like a “thing” I wish I had Teddy, my stuffed bear, Mom They even took my promise ring I was a good girl, Mom I always listened to your rules It makes me want to hurl, Mom That this can happen to girls at school Tell Daddy that I will always be his princess Tell Sissy to not be afraid I hope my story leads to interest That a change needs to be made They left me lying here, Mom I am starting to see the light The boy put something in my drink, Mom I just wanted to have fun for one night Please tell my story to all boys, Mom Tell girls to watch their drink Say that women are not toys, Mom What they did to me should put them in the clink I love you, Mom My legs hurt from all the scrapes I know that you will always love me too, Mom So tell the world that it is not okay to rape.
