I seen her at a stop light on Alverano
Was sittin` in a pearl white Eldorado
In a gangsta lean she were revvin` the throttle
Got a sticker on the bumper say she like techano
She looked like Selena, the truth couldn`t be plainer
She like a gangsta boogie, her mama calls her cookie
My friends call her a sad girl cause her man went away
And he ain`t never coming back, so cry another tattoo sea
Sad girl living on the east side of the city
Proud woman, boy, she don`t want none of your pity
Sad girl got no one to rely on
Proud woman don`t need your shoulder to cry on
I seen her at the market she was pushing a stroller
Smoking on a cigarette, drinkin` a soda
Laughin` 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 talked like the devil
She looked like a stranger, she lived like a rebel
She`s a sad girl, cause her man went away
And he ain`t never coming back, so cry another tattoo sea
Sad girl living on the east side of the city
Proud woman, boy, she don`t want none of your pity
Sad girl got no one to rely on
Proud woman don`t need your shoulder to cry on
Hey sad girl, we can take this slow
Baby what you lookin` for, let me know
You say you want a man that can give you some dough
You say buy my babyshoes 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 tryna rock the boat, I`m tryna 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 the pay phone and something upset her
I really wanna hold her but I only just met her
But I could tell she`d been crying, she said she felt like dying
She never been so alone no, she gotta make it on her own though
She`s a sad girl, cause her man went away
And he ain`t never coming back
Sad girl living on the east side of the city
Proud woman, boy, she don`t want none of your pity
Sad girl got no one to rely on
Proud woman don`t need your shoulder to cry on
