Mignon Lyrics

Mignon still remembers what her mother said

As she lay in that hospital bed

She said, "take care of your brother and sister"

Then she passed away

(misericordia, Ay Señor)

(misericordia, Ay Señor)

(misericordia, Ay Señor)

(misericordia, Ay Señor)

And to her mother never did it occur

But Mignon at 15 was an entrepreneur

She's trained to work with men who prefer

Something a little more immature

And she doesn't know any other way

She remembers how she started three years ago

When her cousin said to give her a call

She knew a way for them to make money to spend

Mignon called that day

But her cousin introduced her to more than just that

They started with weed, then they moved on to crack

Since then Mignon saves enough to buy

Any pretty rock she manages to find

And she doesn't know any other way

Mignon says that most days she gets paid pretty well

After all, most of her customers are foreigners

They pay her boss, and Mignon does what she does so well

But the other days

She says some are mean and they make her feel blue

They use her, they hit her, they scream at her, too

She swears most are fine, it's just some that are cruel

She's proud of her work, her boss's crowning jewel

And she doesn't know any other way

But deep down, Mignon feels that something has changed

The excitement she had when she started fades

The fun is gone, all that's left is addiction and pain

And she's not okay

But she can't quit, there's no other way

She has drugs to buy, she has bills to pay

She's the head of the house, what would mama say

But she can't quit, there's no other way

She has drugs to buy, she has bills to pay

She's the head of the house, what would mama say

But she can't quit, there's no other way

She has drugs to buy, she has bills to pay

She's the head of the house, what would mama say

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Misericordia ¡Ay, Señor!

Will somebody tell me what's wrong with this girl

No preguntes, just look away

She's drugged and she's bruised and she doesn't look well

No preguntes, just look away

Someone call the cops, someone call for help

No preguntes, just look away

She keeps telling me she just tripped and fell

No preguntes, just look away

Mijita, mijita, mijita, come out of your shell

No preguntes, just look away

Why won't you let us free you from this hell

No preguntes, just look away

Ay, ay, ay, Mignon vende su juventud

No me preguntes, I can't say

Ella vende su juventud por necesidad

No me preguntes, I can't say

Pa' buscar una vida mejor pa' los hermanos

No me preguntes, I can't say

Se vende a si misma en busca de la libertad

No me preguntes, I can't say

Y la compra con ganas la sociedad

No me preguntes, I can't say

A-la-la-la-lay, a-la-la-la-lay, esto si está mal

No me preguntes, I can't say

Ay, ¡qué asco me da!

No me preguntes, I can't say

Ay ¡qué asco me da, qué asco me da, qué asco me da!

No me preguntes, I can't say

And she doesn't know any other way
