And you know she's gonna make it come hell or high wa-ater
Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her
Burnin' all her bridges, come hell or high wa-ater
Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her, mmm
When baby ran out of promises, she got red-eyed and tried to sleep
She used to sneak out back, down to the track
And run like a dog on the stree-eet
And her and me, we'd just shoot the breeze
Dreamin' 'bout everything she wanted to know-ow
Till the light in her eyes was shining - but God it seems years ago-o-o
Oh-oh-oh, I knew baby's secrets, but I never got to know her hear-eart
And when I got a job in a rock and roll band, well, we just drifted apar-art
And now they say she don't trust no one
And she hardly ever smi-iles anymore-ore
Unless maybe she wants somethin'
And then she's bound to give you a ca-a-all
But I guess some things never change
She knows she's gonna make it, come hell or high wa-ater
Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her
Burnin' all her bridges, come hell or high wa-ater
Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her, ooh
Ooh-ooh, I saw baby out drivin' down main street yesterday-ay
We shared tea and frozen smiles, we were thinkin' of things to say-ay
We were erasing all the memories that time goes and locks away-ay
But all the broken dreams and the promises just kept gettin' in our way-ay
But I guess - some things never change
Ow, she knows she's gonna make it, come hell or high wa-ater
Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her
Burnin' all her bridges, come hell or high wa-ater
Scramble to the top no matter what they taught her, oh...
Come hell or high water, he'l
