She's always trying to be   some independent girl who is never in need   but twenty years in this town   she still relies 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 being 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
