Little girl,
Little girl,
Growing up so fast,
Little girl,
Little girl,
Please don't act like that.
Little girl,
I love you so,
Promise me you'll always know,
That you are more than a toy.
Little girl,
Little girl,
Find someone that treasures you,
And if they do,
Then I may die,
With the thought that you will be alright.
Little girl,
Little girl,
I know you can be strong alone,
But even rocks need other rocks,
To keep themselves upright.
Little girl,
My little girl,
So precious is your mind,
That I should always wish for you,
A safe place to unwind.
Little girl,
Little girl,
Growing up so fast,
Please remember what you're worth,
And never act like them.
