The school nurse shook her head
when I told her that I fell
Daddy's the one that did it
but I will never tell
Why would these people help me
they wouldn't if they could
Mommy never believes me
so who says that they would
Because the reason is at home
and he's watching TV
He's probably got a beer in his hands
and he's thinking of me
Waiting until I get off the bus
and he can get me alone
Wondering how far he can get
before mommy gets home
The neighbors hear me scream
they know what my life has been
That if I try to fight back
he'll hit me again
But it's just a little bruise
and I'm sure the pain will pass
May I please leave now?
I have to get to class
