"If I Were A Little Girl" lyrics

If I Were A Little Girl

If I could again be a little girl
Still clinging to mom's apron strings
I'd fall in love only with my toys
That my daddy every weekend would bring

I'd live in a world of just make believe
And I'd never come close to reality
If I could again be a little girl
Then I wouldn't be lonesome
And I wouldn't be hurting
And I wouldn't be crying
Over a big boy like you

But I never more can be a little girl
For little girls fall in love and move up way
Your love turned out to be just like my toys
That my mommy got up and gave away

Now I live in a world of old memories
For each day I have to face reality
I'm a girl all alone but not a little girl
So that's why I'm lonesome
And that's why I'm hurting
And that's why I'm crying
Over a big boy like you
