Girl’s Story Lyrics by The Outfield

1983

She was born and raised in Harlem
Where, man you know it's tough
She was living in the fast lane
She was never quite fast enough
Sensed a movement in the darkness
And a flash that fills the night
[?] with a switchblade tries to take her life
Baby calm down, take another glance
Baby calm down, you got a second chance
Baby calm down, take another glance
You got a second chance
Then the police arrive in numbers
And the crowd just stands and stares
And there's a cop, thinks he's James Dean
Running fingers through his hair
Swears she never heard the footsteps, not a clue that he was there
Trying so hard to remember, but the police don't seem to care
Baby calm down, take another glance
Baby calm down, you got a second chance
Baby calm down, take another glance
You got a second chance
She was born and raised in Harlem
Where, man you know it's tough
She was living in the fast lane
She was never quite fast enough
Sensed a movement in the darkness
And a flash that fills the night
[?] with a switchblade tries to take her life
Baby calm down, take another glance
Baby calm down, you got a second chance
Baby calm down, take another glance
You got a second chance
