The Eyes of a Prostitute

Looking at the streets so empty and bare 
just reminded me of the pain and despair

I see a young girl at the corner while she wait 
For a car to pull up but thats not her date

Then she stepped into that car all nicely dressed 
But will come back tomorrow even more depressed

She does it every friday and all the next day
As a high school drop out theres a price to pay

Selling herself is the only thing left to do
It just breaks my heart if only she knew

If she could look into my past and see what ive been thru
Then she'd be free at last and make her dreams come true
