I knew a girl her name was Mary in disguise
And when you looked into her eyes
You could see the story of her life and how at
Nine years old her parents split up at the seams
They told her life's more than it seems
And when you grow up you will see
Now she's seventeen with no dream in her head
Spending every single weekend getting drunk in her bed
Finding guys that aren't right
And no mom would like
But she grew up with no mom
No mom in her life to tell her

You deserve more than you are getting
You deserve more than you are getting

Every night gets a call from her friends
A different party, different people
But she knows how it ends
She'll get approached by some boys
That think they're men
And she has a hard time saying no to them

Staying up just a little too late
Her friends left, no car
Not feeling so great
She had a hard days night
'Cause she filled up her plate
With life lessons not blessings
No time to wait

Now she's at twenty three
And gets a job with me
Spending every single weekend
Selling coffee and tea
Not quite in her head where she wants to be
But the bills need paying
'Cause life ain't free now

You deserve more than you are getting
You deserve more than you are getting
You deserve, you deserve, more

You, you deserve
You, more
You, deserve
