Little Girls

Little girls sleep at night
Safe inside their dreams, is it a scheme
They think they'll grow up into queens
I am old, I am young and wise
I'm just a little girl in low cut clothes
Who hides behind a face, but really knows
That you devise what a child get for free
Can loving be that way once for me?
Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl
A women is what a woman gives
Sometimes she gives too much, look but don't touch
Most times for me, there's not enough
When a man fall in love, with me
He moves into me like he would a house
He decorates me and lives his fantasies out
If you devise what a child gets for free
And I'll be viewed that way once of me
Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl
With love so innocent,I found so late
When all I've done with love is
Played and made mistakes
Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl
Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh hmmm
Tonight I'm just a little girl
Mhhhh tonight I'm just a little girl
Mhhhhh tonight I'm just a little girl
Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh
Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Ohhh just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh
Tonight I'm just a little girl
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
I'm just your little girl...
