Her little man is 4 years old
Looks like his father so he`s been told
But he wouldn`t know it, he ain`t never seen him around
Life has been cold, it treats her unkind
But she`ll keep on searching until she can find
Something she can cling to when the rain comes down
A candle just won`t light in the pouring rain
The pressures of this life are driving her insane yeah
Now given the chance she knows she can shine
But she`s so tied down that she ain`t got the time
A candle just won`t light in the pouring rain
She was so young, had to quit school
Grew up too fast now she`s nobody`s fool
No time for dreamin` life just kinda leads her around
9 to 5 world leaves nowhere to grow
She`d spread her wings but there`s nowhere to go
Her tiny flame is no match for the rain coming down
A candle just won`t light in the pouring rain
The pressures of this life are driving her insane (yeah)
Now given the chance she knows she can shine
But she`s so tied down that she ain`t got the time
A candle just won`t light in the pouring rain
