Adia Victoria - Whole World Knows lyrics

Artist: Adia Victoria

album: A Southern Gothic


On a Sunday afternoon
While her daddy shouts that good news
Under the steeple
She's learning his to fill
Watching her blood rise as it fills
Up that needle
Hell and Heaven in her arm
Got her mother spinning yarn
To all God's people
And as quiet as she's kept
Ain't nobody been fooled yet
The whole world knows
From the time that she was three
Most anyone could see
That girl was trouble
And to her family's dismay
Where they lead her, she would stray
And she would struggle
She showed up strung out and serene
At her surprise Sweet Sixteen
Not even humble
Took a bite right out the cake
Didn't say one word of grace
The whole world knows
♪
Ooh
The whole world knows
You know secrets that exist
In a town as small as this
No need denying
'Cause she was never gonna be
The kind of girl her mother need
To keep from crying
So she don't bother going far
That's why she's in her daddy's car
Busy with dying
So let the church folks say "Amen"
Act surprised by the end
When the whole world knows
Don't act surprised by the end
Just let me rest and say "Amen"
The whole world knows
