lyrics

Maybe you were born into a rich home
Maybe you were given everything
Maybe they told you that nothing was impossible
But a girl’s gotta want something

Lila, Lila

Maybe they didn’t like the look in your eye
Maybe they didn’t like your smart mouth
Maybe they took your car away and sent your boyfriend home
Maybe you burned down the house

Lila, Lila, Lila, Lila

You ran away from the place they put you
You slashed the face of the man who pushed you
You changed your name and made your
Fortune on a wager with yourself

They took your name out of the record books
They pretended to forget
Sometimes you send your sister postcards from your secret places
And you sign ‘em with an X

Lila, Lila
Lila (you’re never gonna see the one you love again)
Lila (you’re never gonna see the one you love)
Lila (you’re never gonna see the one you love again)
Lila
