Mike Scully - The Alternative Lyrics

She'll be sleeping in his bed tonight
This man she doesn't like
But he's the adult and he knows that she won't put up a fight
She'll be sleeping in his bed tonight
Tells herself she'll be alright
She'll turn her head to play dead
He said he doesn't wanna see her cry

Chorus
It's better than the Alternative
Out on the streets where she could never live
And getting lost like her mamma did
She'd never find her way home
I guess it's better than the Alternative
Out on the streets where she could never live
And getting lost like her mamma did
And leaving her brother with him
I guess it's better than the Alternative

Verse 2
She'll be sleeping in a tent tonight
With this guy she doesn't like
But he's got the money
And a brand new pipe
She'll be sleeping in a tent tonight
And as he shuts off the light
She turns her head to play dead
He don't wanna see her cry

Chorus

Verse 3
She stops a hand runnin up her thigh
Whispers first you gotta get me high
Then he tells her that she'll be alright
You won't see me cry

Chorus
