She was so attractive
Her parents overprotective
She met another boy with a Lexus
And they made out on a mattress
She thought he loved her
But now he don't even bother
She had a little baby named Donna
But Donna ain't got no father
Seventeen candy curls all he saw was a young dumb girl
Spend a little dough, talk a little game
Look what that got you babe
She was young she didn't know
All they play on the radio
All they show on the video
How could she say no

It's okay it's alright
You ain't gotta explain a thing to me
I know what its like when you're lookin' for someone to love
It's okay it's alright
You can come stay with me tonight
You can cry on my shoulder
So baby just come on over

Brenda lived out in Michigan
She always seemed a little different
She met antother girl at the college
And then came out of the closet
All the friends she had before
They don't come around no more
She feels so abandoned and won't even leave her apartment
Hates he life hates herself
Just wants to be like everybody
Can't go home what would they say
Packed her things and ran away
She was young and innocent
She gave in to prejudice
No one came to her defense
And I haven't seen her since

It's okay if you wanna stay
It's alright if you wanna go
My arms are opened wide and I just gotta let you know
No matter what they say
I'm gonna stay right by your side
I'll be there for you everything's gonna be alright
