Just Ellen

ever since i met you've captured my heart

you treated me like a lady from the very start

guess i'm a little girl in her dreams

who doesn't want to see

that i have to grow older and change on my own

i want to be a singer but go it alone

but it is hard for me cause i dont wan't to see that

i'm too young for a man,

but i'm too old for a boy.

so can't we just pretend,

that i'm older than i really am,

but then, only little girls pretend.

i put on all the make-up that i can possibly find

i'm five years older in just a minute's time

but i can't compete with the ladies that attract your kind

so i rummage through my sister's things

hoping to find something that will catch your eye

to make you change your mind

so i won't have to leave, so you won't say to me

i'm too young for a man,

but i'm too old for a boy.

so can't we just pretend,

that i'm older than i really am,

but then, only little girls pretend.

i'm left out in the night

i've lost all my senses

i know this isn't right

but you've captured my defenses

i really am in love

well thats the way i feel

this game has to stop

cause you know it can't be real

i'm too young for a man,

but i'm too old for a boy.

so can't we just pretend,

that i'm older than i really am,

but then, only little girls pretend.

i know i'd make you happy

but i'm too young for a wife

love is always special but i know i can't rush life

so i'm waiting in the wings to see what life will bring

and maybe in a few years when i am wise and tall

love will light again and shine upon us all

he says i'm a little girl in her dreams

who doesn't want to see

i'm too young for a man,

but i'm too old for a boy.

so can't we just pretend,

that i'm older than i really am,

but then, only little girls pretend.
