Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What can you do for a girl like April
Pick her up each time she calls
Hold her cause she's still your baby
After all

[Verse 2]
Just don't ask too many questions
Push the details from your mind
Offer all the hope and comfort
That you can find

[Chorus]
And damn that telephone
Every time it rings
She goes back to the streets
Forsaking everything
She's treasured and she's loved
but It's just not enough

[Verse 3]
What can you do for a girl like April
Not enough you know it's true
Just carry on as best you're able
That's what you do

[Verse 4]
Alternate tough love and honey
Prop her up to watch her fall
Then catch her cause she's still your baby
After all

[Chorus]
And damn that telephone
Every time it rings
She goes back to the streets
Forsaking everything
She's treasured and she's loved
It's just not enough

[Verse 5]
What can you do for a girl like April?
Dress her in her Sunday clothes
Then lay her on that velvet table
Before she goes

[Verse 6]
Hear the words that have no meaning
Hear the words that can't be true
Then say goodbye to your sweet baby
That's what you do

[Chorus]
And damn that telephone
Every time it rings
It always takes you back
You imagine answering
Hearing daddy take me home
I'm scared and I'm alone

[Outro]
What can you do for a girl like April?
Oh what can you do, what can you do?
What can you do for a girl like April?
Oh what can you do, what can you do?
Oh what can you do, what can you do
