God Bless The Girl

(David Bowie)



Jackie loves her work
And her work is loved
For there is no other

She says 'God has given me a job'
Jackie loves her work
There is no other

Jackie's aiming for the stars
But landing on the clouds
There is no other

Sitting in her corner
Too afraid to run away
Like a slave without chains

Her wonder turns to danger
Spring turns to Winter
God bless the girl
But I will treasure, treasure every single moment
God bless the girl
Fire turns to water
Light becomes darkness
God bless the girl
But I don't wanna hurt you
Just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl

God bless the girl
But I don't wanna hurt you
Just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl

You don't need another friend
You just need a reason
There is no other

Jackie loves her work
And her work is loved
For there is no other

Her wonder turns to danger
Spring turns to Winter
God bless the girl
But I will aways treasure, treasure every single moment
God bless the girl
Fire turns to water
And light becomes darkness
God bless the girl
But I don't wanna hurt you
Just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl

God bless the girl
God bless the girl

I don't wanna hurt you
Just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl  (God bless the girl)

The years pass so swiftly
God bless the girl  (God bless the girl)

Years pass so swiftly
God bless the girl  (God bless the girl)
