Daddy didn't care, Mama wasn't there Jenny slammed the door to her heart Packed a suitcase of anger, no one tried to save her She headed for the city that shines in the dark But the lights fade away, when you're young on the streets without a friend Jenny learned to survive, put a price on the nights that never end
She's hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much She's hard sixteen, will soul run dry by seventeen?
The face of innocence doesn't stand a chance Between the losers, the takers, the lost So Jenny never cried, locked her pain inside She's trapped in a time bomb, ready to blow There will come a day when the mirror reveals a total stranger Another lonely runaway in a living hell
She's turning hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much She's hard sixteen, will her soul run dry?
Jenny, please come home (Please come home) You've got so much to give, so much life to live, so come home
She's hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much She's hard sixteen, will her soul run dry?, Sixteen
Hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much Hard sixteen, will her soul run dry? Hard sixteen, her Daddy didn't care, her Mama wasn't there Hard sixteen, will her soul run dry? Hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much Hard sixteen, will her soul run dry by seventeen?
