lyrics

[V1]
Once knew a girl she was tall and thin

Once knew a girl she was riddled with sin

Once knew a girl she was cute as can be

Till one day she turned her back made a fool out of me, ooooh

[C]
Balance your life girl, hold it in your hands

The taxman took your dollars and your family don't understand

You say you're trying oh so hard, yeah

You say you're wearing so thin

But you're not the only one who is suffering

[V2]

Now this girl was an epic force, always got her way

Manipulatin', cheatin', lyin', all on display, but

Even through all this madness she wasn't livin' for herself

Consumed by love she was living for somebody else, ooooh

[C]

Balance your life girl, hold it in your hands

The taxman took your dollars and your family don't understand

You say you're trying oh so hard, yeah

You say you're wearing so thin

But you're not the only one who is suffering

[V2]

Like an overgrown garden I knew it'd take a lot too

Pull out all the weeds that she planted in my heart but

Little by litte, I pulled myself free

The worst is over she ain't got no hold on me, ooooh

[C]

Balance your life girl, hold it in your hands

The taxman took your dollars and your family don't understand

You say you're trying oh so hard, yeah

You say you're wearing so thin

But now you're not the cause of my suffering
