The Cats - She Was Too Young lyrics

She just said goodbye to me with a smile upon her face Moving out like that, didn't leave a trace She never even realized just what she meant to me The only one I cared about was Sheila She was too young, so very young Just to make it on her own, live a life of pleasure Somebody told me lately he'd seen her on a stage Of some dirty striptease bar, all dressed in lace She'd been drinking too much gin and fell down on the floor They took her up and knocked her through that barroom door She was too young, so very young To resist the dangers of the city She was too young, so very young Such an innocent girl, isn't it a pity She was too young, so very young To resist the dangers of the city She was too young, so very young Such an innocent girl, isn't it a pity Oh, my darling Sheila, you were too young Just to make it on your own, live a life of pleasure Just to make it on your own, live a life of pleasure Live a life of pleasure
