Does anyone know how it feels

To sacrifice your high ideals?

You've been a fool and that's the truth,

Thinking your heart was bulletproof.

Why so sad, little girl?

What you had, little girl

Turned out bad, little girl

Little girl.

You don't need self-help books to know

The proper time for letting go

I couldn't say the grass is green

But can't be worse than where you've been.

Why so sad, little girl?

What you had, little girl

Turned out bad, little girl

Little girl.

Though you tried, little girl,

Something died, little girl,

Wounded pride, little girl,

Little girl.

Nobody ever wants to lose

But we don't get to pick and choose.

Did no-one warn you in advance

You wouldn't have a second chance?

Even so, little girl,

Let it go, little girl

'cos you're no little girl

Little girl.

Take it slow, little girl,

And lay low, little girl,

But you're no little girl,

Little girl
