The young girl says no to her fumbling beau
And she can't help from wondering why
And how she might feel
If she ever revealed
The love she so carefully hides
So she hides

She hides in her little girl world
Safe from the forces that make her give in
Safe from the boy who tries time and again
And goes home

He mother said wait
From the time she turned eight
For the right man would someday appear
And don't you give in
To those fast-talking men
They'll just love you and leave you my dear
So she hides

She hides in her little girl world
Safe from the forces that make her give in
Safe from the boy who tries time and again
And goes home

Where's the rainbow
She stares out from the room
Where's my prince on his white horse
Lord I hope he comes soon
And the boy comes
The boy goes
And nobody else really knows
What she knows
She won't say
But she knows that he'll be back on the very next day
So she hides

She hides in her little girl world
Safe from the forces that make her give in
Safe from the boy who tries time and again
And goes home
