Lyrics:
If she seems cold and bitter
Then I beg of you
Just stop and consider
All she's gone through
Don't be quick to condemn her
For things she might say
Just remember
Life turned her that way
She's been walked on
And stepped on
So many times
And I hate to admit it
But the last footprint's mine
She was cryin'
When I met her
She cries harder today
So don't blame her
Life turned her that way
No don't blame her
Life turned her that way
