Once upon a time

Red looking so good was her only committed crime

Everyone knew her as a sweet, young girl

Until Wolff came and changed her world

 

His name was Wolff. He was big and bad

The same adjectives described the rep he had

He had seduced Red like a sneaky snake

She didn't know going on their date would be a big mistake

 

"Everything is alright. It's okay my love." 

The drunk Wolff said, "No one will ever know that it was us." 

As she robbed a lone man of his things Monday night at 11:19 

She hoped and prayed that she hadn't been seen

 

As they were sitting in the car outside of the random house Tuesday night

One passenger had a murderous face, the other a look of fright

Six shots went off from the gun in his hand

After her heart let her say yes to Wolff's devious plan 

 

She let "love" get the best of her. Poor little Red

Wolff's silver tongue put poison in her head 

She couldn't believe she was dating a madman 

Red was afraid and upset she let everything happen 

 

Until Wolff came and changed her world 

Everyone knew her as a sweet, young girl 

Red looking so good was her only committed crime

Once upon a time
