[Verse 1]
When they were 17, a condom broke
When he pulled out she nearly cried
In darkness none a word was spoke
Silliest that she could run and cry
The next day at the pharmacy
When they asked her if she needed help
She said it's an emergency
They hide the answer on the shelf
And they left her out
Ooh
[Chorus]
Cause nobody's ready for the days like these
How do you choose who can choose for me?
It's in my hands
It's in my body
It should be up to me
It's hard enough you see
Nobody's ready for the days like these
[Verse 2]
She was 17 and he's a man
They made it works so trust he'll do what's right
But that trust was ripped right from her hands
She tried to fight back with all her might
She didn't know who she could tell
Her body filled up with your shame
Her life became a living hell
Oh his liberty a losing game
And with all the blame
Ooh
[Chorus]
Cause nobody's ready for the days like these
How do you choose who can choose for me?
It's in my hands
It's in my body
It should be up to me
It's hard enough you see
Nobody's ready for the days like these
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
It's in my hands
It's in my body
It should be up to me
It's hard enough you see
Nobody's ready for the days like these
