She's a sad, sad girl

A Sad, sad, girl

She don't try to fight it

Won't try to hide it

She's a sad, sad, girl



Was it always so?

Did her heart start that low?

Did she always believe

Love always deceives?

Was it always so?



No matter what you do

She'll pay no mind to you

To make her know you care

Is as futile as a prayer



She's a mining town

After the mine's shut down

Coal turned to diamonds

But she won't let you find them

She's a mining town



Once in a long, long, while

She might attempt a smile

But it works in reverse

She starts to hurt even worse



She's a sad, sad, girl

In a sad, sad, world

She won't try to fight it

Won't try to hide it

She's a sad, sad, girl
