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
