She's always tryin' to be
Some independent girl who is never in need
But 20 years in this town
She still relys on me to find her way around

Because she's just a little girl - time isn't holding her down
She's just a little girl - she never needed a crown
She just wants somebody around
Who won't laugh when she laughs too loud
She just wants somebody to see
She's just a little girl

When i think too much
The voices in my head are silenced by her touch
She hates bein alone
And babytalks to me when we're on the phone

Because she's just a little girl - time isn't holding her down

She's just a little girl - she never needed a crown
She just wants somebody around
Who won't laugh when she laughs too loud
She just wants somebody to see
She's just a little girl

In a world that moves too fast
She's afraid she'll never last
But if she holds the faith of a child
She'll be alright... she'll be alright
Because she's just a little girl - time isn't holding her down
She's just a little girl - she never needed a crown
She just wants somebody around
Who won't laugh when she laughs too loud
She just wants somebody to see
She's just a little girl
