Odd Thomas - Little Miss So & So lyrics

[Verse 1] Meet little Miss So & So, sitting right over there Rolling her eyes, blowing her bubble gum, and twisting up her hair Showing her thighs in her miniskirt, she's quite aware She's a pro at this she knows it when she's setting up her snare She's quite accomplished in the tricks of the trade Her mama's boyfriend taught her everything when she hit the 6th grade He violated her and said he couldn't help the a**ault Her mama hated her for tempting him and held her at fault Their were lots of men who befriended her mother And to little Miss So & So, some were friendlier than others She wanted a father figure but got parasitic lovers They drained her of her spirit and she never did quite recover She's having a hell of a time dealing with being a shell of a girl Trying to fit in with the smiling faces of an irrelevant world You know you're lost when the demon of lust Is the only one you think you can trust [Chorus] She's not a prostitute, she just wears the uniform She's been hurt by so many she doesn't quite know who to scorn Trying to find love by sleeping around, she's hunting unicorn But mommy did the same thing, so she's staying true to form She likes to go fast, likes to shop for romance Doesn't think she's worthy of some flowers and a slow dance There's a boy she knows who likes to walk around and hold hands Sorry to break it to you brother, but you ain't got no chance [Verse 2] She walks the halls of her high school Looking for the bad boys, pa**ing up the nice fools She spends more time under the bleachers than the cla**room Even met one of her teachers in the bathroom Flushing her education right down the drain She's got a reputation that she's gotta try and maintain Her clothes are barely painted on, she's in the skimpiest [?] mode The principal sits her down, trying to stress the dress code She hears the whispers pointed toward her locker About her visit to the clinic and the abortion doctor Last week, when she said she was in her room with the flu Gossip hurts just as much when the rumors are true She wishes it was her instead of the fetus that died She portrays confidence but she's defeated inside She sees the hurt coming but instead of running away She just grabs the nearest boy and gets straight to numbing the pain [Chorus] [Verse 3] Walking home at 2 AM after staring at a stranger's ceiling She feels something tugging away at her she's just not used to feeling Something that drops her to her knees on the sidewalk And makes her want to lay down and get outlined in white chalk She's so angry, she's so bitter The shame and the pain and betrayal, it all hit her She screams out as she's digging her nails into her palms Then a door opens up wide, instantly she's calm She sees a man, he's walking toward her He tells her to stand and she's good at taking orders She rises to her feet and prepares for the worst He says "Here's a gla** of water, I can tell that you thirst" He saw a little girl, not a filthy who*e She drank that water like she'd never tasted it before He smiled at her and she knew right there and then That she never in her life wanted to be thirsty again
