She’s always trying to be 
This independent girl 
That is never in need 
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 
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 
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 
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
