Bitter Pill

Maddie lived in West LA Long brown hair with bangs that lay Upon her brow, tanned lightly by the sun Her sparkling eyes were crystal blue When she stared, she'd see right through you Toy with your emotions just for fun Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow She worked down at the topless bar Saved enough to buy a car A rusty-red, forgotten Chevrolet Too many nights with nothing to show Counting tips while her frustration grows Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow Alone "Now is there something wrong with me, she cried "I feel like something deep inside me died" Mm, mm Maddie found another town But her past followed her around Wherever she would run to, there she was Baby, don't you leave me, baby, don't go But streets are for deciding, I suppose Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow The cycle starts, it feels brand new But she's been here a time or two Maddie can't be happy if she ain't free
