When she turned a teen she went astray
With her brothers dealer, so they say
She had the baby yesterday
Perhaps it's just [bad word] 
They kept her prisoner growing up
Told her Jesus was enough
She's really into dirty stuff
Perhaps it's just [bad word] 
And if you asked her she'd say

I'm just tryin' to work how
How to be like myself
I'm just tryin' to work out
These cards I've been dealt

See that girl she's looking great
She used to be quite overweight
She may not be entirely straight
Perhaps it's just [bad word] 
Always did as she was told
Apparently she's on the dough
Spends it all on alcohol
Perhaps it's just [bad word] 

I'm just tryin' to work how
How to be like myself
I'm just tryin' to work out
These cards I've been dealt

'Cause she did it, she did it
Her bed is forbidden
He's [bad word] she isn't
She keeps her face hidden
She told 'em good riddance
Her sister brought with 'em
She wishes she didn't
And now they're all singing

Just tryin' to work how
How to be like myself
I'm just tryin' to work out
These cards I've been dealt

I'm just tryin' to work how
How to be like myself
I'm just tryin' to work out
These cards I've been dealt

She did it, she did it
Her bed is forbidden
He's [bad word] she isn't
She keeps her face hidden
She told 'em good riddance
Her sister brought with 'em
She wishes she didn't
And now they're all singing

I'm just tryin' to work how
How to be like myself
I'm just tryin' to work out
These cards I've been dealt

I'm just tryin' to work how
How to be like myself
I'm just tryin' to work out
These cards I've been dealt
