Outside+the+house+Mr.+Simpson+announced
That+Sally+couldn't+go+to+the+meeting
He+went+on+cleaning+his+blue+Rolls+Royce
And+she+ran+inside+weeping
She+got+to+her+room,+and+tears+splashed+the+picture
Of+the+new+Messiah
She+picked+up+the+book+of+her+father's+life
And+threw+it+on+the+fire
She+knew+from+the+start+Deep+down+in+her+heart
That+she+and+Tommy+were+worlds+apart
But+her+mother+said,+"Never+mind,+your+part
++++++++++++++Is+to+be+what+you'll+be"
The+theme+of+the+sermon+was+'Come+unto+me,
And+love+will+find+a+way',
So+Sally+decided+to+ignore+her+dad
And+sneak+out+anyway
She+spent+all+afternoon+getting+ready
And+decided+she'd+try+to+touch+him
Maybe+he'd+see+that+she+was+free
And+talk+to+her+this+Sunday
She+knew+from+the+start+Deep+down+in+her+heart
That+she+and+Tommy+were+worlds+apart
But+her+mother+said,+"Never+mind,+your+part
++++++++++++++Is+to+be+what+you'll+be"
She+arrived+at+six,+and+the+place+was+swinging
To+gospel+music+by+nine
Group+after+group+appeared+on+the+stage
And+Sally+just+sat+there+crying
She+bit+her+nails,+looking+pretty+as+a+picture
Right+in+the+very+front+row
And+then+a+DJ+wearing+a+blazer+with+a+badge
Ran+on+and+said,+"Here+we+go!"
The+crowd+went+crazy
As+Tommy+hit+the+stage
Little+Sally+got+lost+as+the+police+bossed
The+crowd+back+in+a+rage
Soon+the+atmosphere+was+cooler
As+Tommy+gave+a+lesson
Sally+just+had+to+let+him+know+she+loved+him
And+lept+up+on+the+rostrum
She+ran+across+stage+to+the+spotlit+figure
And+brushed+him+on+the+face
Tommy+whirled+around+as+a+uniformed+man
Threw+her+off+the+stage
She+knew+from+the+start+Deep+down+in+her+heart
That+she+and+Tommy+were+worlds+apart
But+her+mother+said,+"Never+mind,+your+part
++++++++++++++Is+to+be+what+you'll+be"
Her+cheek+hit+a+chair+and+blood+trickled+down
Mingling+with+her+tears
Tommy+carried+on+preaching
And+his+voice+filled+Sally's+ears
She+caught+his+eye,+she+had+to+try
But+he+couldn't+see+through+the+lights
Her+face+was+gashed,+and+the+ambulance+men
Had+to+carry+her+out+that+night
The+crowd+went+crazy
As+Tommy+left+the+stage
Little+Sally+was+lost+for+the+price+of+a+touch
And+a+gash+across+her+face,+oh
Sixteen+stitches+put+her+right,+and+her+dad+said
"Don't+say+I+didn't+warn+you"
Sally+got+married+to+a+rock+musician
She+met+in+California
Tommy+always+talks+about+the+day
The+disciples+all+went+wild
Sally+still+carries+a+scar+on+her+cheek
To+remind+her+of+his+smile
She+knew+from+the+start+Deep+down+in+her+heart
That+she+and+Tommy+were+
worlds+apart
But+her+mother+said,+"Never+mind,+your+part
++++++++++++++Is+to+be+what+you'll+be"
