Loving Molly

She sits on her front porch
swinging in the sun
wondering what she could do
to earn her mommys love.

No one seems to notice her
with her pretty torn up dress
she tries to smile everyday
she tries to make the situation best

She never says a word
about the things that go on at home
what happens with her and mommy
when they\'re left alone

When the teacher asks whats going on
Molly just sits still
the teacher starts to wonder
if the bruises and scars are for real

the teacher starts to panic and ask
\"molly, honey, the fault is whose?\"
she sits and says..\"i walked into a wwall
thats how i got the bruise\"

\"Please don\'t tell my mommy
she\'d get very mad,
Please keep this between us
I dont want mommy sad.\"

The teacher knows whats going on
that this wasnt the first bruise
that molly is a victim
of her mothers own abuse.

Molly hears her mothers voice
as she hangs up with the school
Mommy looks her straight in the eyes...
\"Do you take me for some fool?\"

Molly knows whats about to happen
and how its going to end
No one can help her now
Daddy is out late agian.

Molly takes a couple slaps
she\'s thrown across the floor
She falls and hits her head
agianst her bedroom door.

Everything in her head
went straight, straight to black.
Molly is hurt real bad this time
her mother just turns her back.

When Molly wakes up
Daddy is by her side
he asks if shes okay
and what she did this time.

Daddy says its okay
he\'s gone and called the cops
he should have done it sooner
he should have made mommy stop

Molly sits on the front porch
when the social services arrive
they come for litle molly
they\'re suprised she is still alive.

They says she wouldn\'t last another beating,
That this is more than she could take,
She makes up excuses and comes up with lies
but they say these she can\'t fake.

They say its okay now.
That mommy is going away
Molly is getting a real family
who will love her everyday
