Maddie lived in west LA
Long brown hair with bangs that lay
Upon her brow, tanned lightly by the sun
Her sparkling eyes were crystal blue
When she stared she'd see right through you
Toy with your emotions just for fun
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
She worked down at the topless bar
Saved enough to buy a car
A rusty red forgotten Chevrolet
Too many nights with nothing to show
Counting tips while her frustration grows
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
Alone, now is there something wrong with me, she cried
I feel like something deep inside me died
Maddie found another town
But her past followed her around
Wherever she would run to there she was
Baby, don't you leave me, baby, don't go
But streets are for deciding I suppose
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
The cycle starts it feels brand new
But she's been here a time or two
Maddie can't be happy if she ain't free
