Fallen Angel by Poison

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't shine as bright as they did
On her mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder, days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be

But you know you got to stick to your guns when it all comes down
'Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win, tails you're gonna lose

Win big mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin' out her life
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life

Now she found herself in the fast lane livin' day to day
Turned her back on her best friends and let her family slip away
And just like a lost soul caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame

Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago?

Win big mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin' out her life
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life

Too much, too soon, or just a little too late
'Cause when the ship came in
She wasn't there and just wouldn't wait

Win big mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin' out her life
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life

Win big mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin' out her life
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life

Win big mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin' out her life
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life

Win big mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin' out her life
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
