try to understand
what i'm not and what i am
i'm hiding like a boy
but staring like a man
star above the sea
i live to watch you breathe
make you make-believe
and tell you how to be
little girl dance for me
little girl dance
don't try running
i know where you'll hide
don't start lying
i can read your mind
just do everything i taught you to
got you where i want you
don't cry baby when you can't resist
nothing you can say will you get you out of this
there's not anything that you can do
got you where i want you
try to understand
who i'm not and who i am
i'm strong enough to run
but not enough to stand
you've collected moves
the one everybody knows
holding onto some
but some you're letting go
little girl dance for me
little girl dance

(chorus)
i'm ready to wait in some dark corner
is it getting late or just getting warmer?
let's play
let's play
my lady
right now
right now

(chorus)
