Did you ever make your mother cry?   Did you look in her face with your piercing eyes?   A troubled childhood took a knife to her heart   when you cover your fears when ever they start   you told your lies to get out of your home   you crept off somewhere and he found you alone   lust in his eyes weapon in his hand   and he left you there when love always demands      and you see   only ballerinas can dance   and you found   {yes you} found a friendly romance   little girl in the snow   you should've stayed home   baby it's cold out there tonight   little girl in the snow   you should've stayed home   baby it's cold out there      your school work papers all forgot your name   you became the dust from which you came   all the voices coming out of the dark   the snow melted away all your blood in the park   tell me darling what you're thinking of   {summer night} you had fell in love   when you met up with the man with the knife   now you're all alone in the snow without life      and you see   only ballerinas can dance   and you found   {yes you} found a friendly romance   little girl in the snow   you should've stayed home   baby it's cold out there tonight   little girl in the snow   you should've stayed home   baby it's cold out there      little girl in the snow   you should've stayed home   baby it's cold out there tonight   {repeat}
