Curious – Quicksand Kerry<\/span><\/p>\n

She’s so young, she’s so sweet, she’s so inviting
\nShe’s the cream, the wet dream of all her schoolmates
\nThey’re curious and so is she
\nShe wants to know about all she’s read of in the magazines
\nShe’s petite, so fit, so innocent
\nJailbait party girl, but it’s wearing thin<\/p>\n

Her body is changing, her mind is expanding
\nHer history’s building, her life is closing in<\/p>\n

They’re so young, they’re so strong, they’re so inviting
\nWhat they want’s what you flaunt, see where the power is
\nThey get so upset when you won’t play ball, are you worried that you’ll lose it all?
\nThey’re so drunk, they’re so thick, they’re yours to play with
\nDon’t concern yourself with trying to change them<\/p>\n

Her body is changing, her mind is expanding
\nHer history’s building, her life is closing in<\/p>\n

They’re curious and so is she
\nShe wants to know about all she’s read of in the magazines…<\/p>\n

She’s so young, she’s so sweet, so much potential
\nBut such haste, what a waste
\nShe should have more control<\/p>\n

Her body is changing, her mind is expanding
\nHer history’s building, her life is closing in<\/p>\n
