lyrics

She only wants to have a good time
Lately she's been down and out of luck
And she assures her friends that she'll be fine
As she climbs in the back of a stranger's truck

Tonight she'll dance, she'll dance, she'll dance the night away
And she meets and she greets and the patrons know her name

Oh, you'll try to stop her
Oh, you'll only make things worse
You're only provoking the addiction that takes her away
To a place where rock bottom and cloud 9 are one in the same
Where she escapes the pity, the fear, and the shame

Her teeth are clenched like she's hiding the words inside
Her body's shaking like the ground beneath her
Her brain is racing and it can't keep up with her mind
Her pulse is pounding like it's bound to leave her

Tonight she'll dance, she'll dance, she'll dance the night away
And she meets and she greets and temptation knows her name

And you'll try to stop her
And you'll only make things worse
You're only provoking the addiction that takes her away
To a place where rock bottom and cloud 9 are one in the same
Where she escapes the pity, the fear, and the shame

You could've been something great, but now we'll never know, now we'll never know
You could've been something great, but now we'll never know, now we'll never know
You could've been something great, but now we'll never know, now we'll never know
You could've been something great, but now we'll never know, now we'll never know
