I seen her at a stoplight on Alvarado
Sitting in a pearl white El Dorado
In a gangsta lean, she was revving the throttle
She got a sticker on the bumper say she like Tejano
She looked like Selena, the truth couldn't be plainer
She like a gansta boogie, her poppie calls her cookie
My friends call her a sad girl, 'cuz her man went away
And he ain't never coming back
So cry another tattoo

Sad girl living on the east side of the city (sad girl)
Wild woman, boy, she don't want none of your pity (sad girl)
Sad girl, got no one to rely on (sad girl)
Wild woman don't need your shoulder to cry on (sad girl)

I seen her at the market, she was pushing a stroller
Smoking on a cigarette, drinking a soda
Laughing at a joke that somebody just told her
Got her baby's name tattooed on the back of her shoulder
She looked like an angel, she talk like the devil
She feel like a stranger, she live like a rebel
She's a sad girl, 'cuz her man went away
And he ain't never coming back
So cry another tattoo

Sad girl living on the east side of the city (sad girl)
Wild woman, boy, she don't want none of your pity (sad girl)
Sad girl, got no one to rely on (sad girl)
Wild woman don't need your shoulder to cry on (sad girl)

Hey, sad girl, we can take this slow
Baby, what you looking for, let me know
You say you want a man that can give you some dough
You said buy my baby shoes and buy him a coat
And buy my baby food to put down his throat
I won't play you like a ho, it ain't like that, yo
Let me holler at you later, we can go to the show
I ain't trying to rock the boat, I'm trying to keep you afloat

I seen her at the post office mailing a letter
She couldn't send no money, but she made him a sweater
She's talking on a payphone and something upset her
I really want to hold her, but I only just met her
But I can tell she'd been crying
She said she felt like dying
She never been so alone, no
She got to make it own her own, no
She's a sad girl, 'cuz her man went away
And he ain't never coming back

Sad girl living on the east side of the city (sad girl)
Wild woman, boy, she don't want none of your pity (sad girl)
Sad girl, got no one to rely on (sad girl)
Wild woman don't need your shoulder to cry on (sad girl)
