What To Do Now

it was saturday morning about 10 'o' clock
you were in the doctors where you had a shock
you couldnt believe what you had just seen
a pegnant girl at the age of thirteen

she claimed to be drunk and it was a mistake
but now all her dreams seem so fake
that night of fun was now the night of hell
just when she thought she was doing so well

how can she be pregnant? shes still a baby herself
now having to make decisions towards her health
now her heads confused and really messed up
this poor young girls had enough

what about the dad will he stick around
or will he be gone without a sound 
just like her parents who kicked her out her home 
now this heartbroken young girl feels all alone

as the days go by and her bump gets big 
she starts to cry and realises shes not ready for a kid
she really needs help and no-one to turn to
all her happy days seem to be through

this young girls all alone with no-one to care
stuck in a circle going nowhere 
she needs to make some decisions but doesnt know how
the question remains what to do now
