Knocked up, Knocked down

She got knocked up young

And then she died too soon

She’d put the kid to sleep

And then she’d howl at the moon

She’d sit and reminisce of

Dreams that had not come true

No one swept her off her feet

So she’d dance with a broom

She was knocked up

Knocked down

Run down by life

She was alive as a girl

And then she was a wife

She loved her kid

And maybe her husband too

But had not expected

What she’d feared was true

She had become

What she promised not to be

She was now her mum

And her kid was she

She was knocked up

Knocked down

Run down by life

She was alive as a girl

And then she was a wife
