[Verse 1]
CSabina came from EmTexas with a Fscar across her Ccheek
a razor blade had Emcut right Fthrough itC  
She didnt talk Emabout it
yeah but Fit was understCood
that it had been Emdone by a Fman she once Cloved
what an awful thing to dEmo man wFhen she looked at yCou
there was a Emsadness in her FeyesC  
it really made me Emwonder how Fsomeone could be so Ccruel
to cut so Emdeep into Fsomeone so Cnice
[Chorus]
well Fsabina! Fmsabina, tell me Chow could it be Amso crueCl
Sabina Gwhat Fbecomes Cyou?
[Verse 2]
Cwell Sabina she Emmade up her mind she said F"no never aCgain"
but wheres a girl Emgonna get away from a Fman like thCat?
she didnt Emhave much school no, shes just Fyour basic kind of gCirl
from a Emsimple little tFown with a monster in the wCoods
