The joint and the jam blk!
Olivia [Lost and Turned Out]
Olivia the slave
Got distracted on her way
To grandmother's house
A wolf in nice clothin' came
Blew her mind and changed her ways
And now she turned
Lost and turned out
Lost and turned out
She's spendin' most of her time
Walkin' the streets
She has a certain quota to fill
He wants to buy a new Seville
Olivia the slave
Got distracted on her way
To grandmother's house
A wolf in nice clothin' came
Blew her mind and changed her ways
And now she turned
Lost and turned out
Lost and turned out
What is the world comin' to
So many are used and abused
There's over ten million girls
Who are alone in this world
What will your kin folks say
Olivia the slave
It must be breakin' their hearts in two
Listen close, they're callin' you
Olivia the slave
Got distracted on her way
To grandmother's house
A wolf in nice clothin' came
Blew her mind and changed her ways
And now she turned
Lost and turned out
Olivia where's your will
She's lost and turned out
Don't buy that guy no Seville
Lost and turned out
Olivia the slave
Lost and turned out
Don't let him drag you to your grave
Lost and turned out
Olivia where's your mind
Lost and turned out
He pulls you down all the time
Lost and turned out
Olivia stop and think
Lost and turned out
He's takin' your cash to his bank
Lost and turned out
Olivia break your chains
Lost and turned out
Stop usin' your body and use your brain
Lost and turned out
