Nikos by Jewel
She lived in a trailer out eastern road
Her loneliness was a disease
But my daddy couldn't see it though
Her name was linda her smile was forced
And folks 'round town say she dressed like a divorce
My daddy had a son by her
'though she wasn't supposed to be able
I was eight years old when they told me 'round the table
I looked at my daddy, he looked to the ground
I guessed that we'd be stickin' round ahwile
Might as well smile cause there's no point in being mean
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream
Got called to the principal's office
Did I do something wrong?
Doctor on the telephone said,
"congratulations, you've got a baby brother born."
Got sent to a psychiatrist in case I resented their child.
I was bitter in my anguish but my manner was mild.
My daddy got excommunicated from the mormon church.
Guess an illegitimate son in god's eye has no worth
He tried to stick around but he flew the coop in spring.
He loved that baby just not linda it seemed
But still I know we'd be stickin' round awhile
