She grew up in a mixed up world Where performance determined her worth It's hard to change her whole ways around When they're all that she's known since birth She's a small town girl with a big city mind Who's never had hard times to find What it is that she's looking for Maybe an open door Cindy, I hurt because she tries so hard to be good A girl like this can't afford to miss Or not live like she feels she should - oh Cindy If her efforts went into surrender I'm sure that her heart would turn tender I knew all along, things seemed too wrong She was just a master pretender I don't mean to sound judgmental Condescending or unconfidential I'm just trying to learn, that when someone yearns They can't earn God's love which is gentle Cindy, I hurt because you try so hard to be good A girl like you can't afford to lose Or not live like you feel that you should - oh Cindy
