She wears jewelry around her neck
Diamonds
Suffocating her in her sleep
Bracelets of gold leaving her wrists bruised and blue
Sweet little girl was a gift to a stranger thrice her age
She is warned to never disrespect him, to always put his happiness first
Daddy crying out of happiness
Mommy crying, out of happiness
Everyone cheering and dancing as she is forced on a chair bigger than her, in a dress she should have worn for prom first
At the age of 14 told to act like a woman
Carrying a ring on her finger, soon lives of her own
She fears the night now
As they are cheering in daylight,
There will be no one to cheer at night
Besides him

She wears jewelry around her neck
Diamonds
Suffocating her in her sleep
Bracelets of gold leaving her wrists bruised and blue
Sweet little girl was a gift to a stranger thrice her age
She is warned to never disrespect him, to always put his happiness first
Daddy crying out of happiness
Mommy crying, out of happiness
Everyone cheering and dancing as she is forced on a chair bigger than her, in a dress she should have worn for prom first
At the age of 14 told to act like a woman
Carrying a ring on her finger, soon lives of her own
She fears the night now
As they are cheering in daylight,
There will be no one to cheer at night
Besides him
