Verse 1
E
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live

on the poor side of town.

This pretty little girl
In the worn out clothes

That have been hand- me down.

With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells

so you don't see her frown.

And it hasn't been very kind to you.

another desperate man took

Himself out.
