She's always trying to be
This independent girl
That is never in need
For 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
Well, 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
Voices in my head are silenced by her touch
And she hates being alone
Baby talks to me when we're on the phone

Because she's just a little girl
Time isn't holding her down
Oh, 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
Well, 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
She's just a little girl
She's just a little girl
