Pretty Little Lady
Pretty little lady
Why’d you have to grow?
You never even gave me a warning sign
You never even gave me a chance to say ‘bye’
Pretty little lady
Where’s the smile I loved?
You never even let me kiss you
You never even dreamt that I’d miss you
And you never knew what you were
Such a pretty little girl
Couldn’t wait to be a rebellious teen, then you
Couldn’t wait to be an old drama queen
Never even noticed me
If you’d only paused a sec you’d see
I never asked you once to be like them
I only wanted you to be
what I knew for sure that you could be
that’s what I could never ever be myself.
Pretty little lady
Can’t you be yourself?
You’ll wish your life away ‘fore you know it
There’s still some time to change your mind ‘fore you blow it.
You can play with your toys
But never play with those boys
They’ll break you.
