Penny got married young, she idolised her new man   Penny turned 16, said, I do I do, priest wed them both   Penny was happy, never complained to anyone, too shy for that   She crashed a party once, and met a gal named Sally   They became friends   And she confided in her     Shared little secrets, lips sealed, shook their little pinkies, never to tell   Then hubby walked in with curious smile, said you going to stay awhile   I'm not coming back until sunlight, best thing Penny had heard all night   ‘Cause her new beau, wasn’t all that he seemed   But only Penny knows so go go go oh no go     Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Feel you hurting beneath, when we cuddle-up   Fooling some, but mommy sees past that makeup     Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go     Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Feel you hurting beneath, when we cuddle up   Fooling some, but mommy sees past that makeup     Penny started staying inside, never going past the front gate   Some friends called saying you ok you ok you ok girlfriend   Penny searched websites, looking for a way out, deleting history, nobody got suspicious   While trying to play the good wife, reality started to sink in   Then she thought     Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Feel you hurting beneath, when we cuddle up   Fooling some, but mommy sees past that makeup     Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Feel you hurting beneath, when we cuddle up   Fooling some, but mommy sees past that makeup     And I don't want anyone knowing about the abuse, just in case   I've covered up since day one, swollen face   A nightmare, ever since our honeymoon   Childhood dreams were locked in a cell, but kept them alive and still didn’t tell, even while being slammed unconscious   It's like my security blanket, it's the reason that I'm alive   Everyone has childhood dreams, but most will never survive   They don’t always come true, maybe one out of five, be wise   Believing Hollywood tabloids, that they are still very much together, all lies   So go about your ways, put up with the one, that doesn’t love you anymore and continually hurts us and says sorry, again   Always just after they have, again bruised us   Forgetting about the pain and coverups that were made   Thinking it was just a sleeping nightmare, oh no     Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Feel you hurting beneath, when we cuddle up   Fooling some, but mommy sees past that makeup   Go now, Go now     Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Penny get away, far away, go, Penny go   Feel you hurting beneath, when we cuddle up   Fooling some, but mommy sees past that makeup   Go now, Go now
