Little Girl

Little girl

What are you doin’ with a child of your own

Little girl

What are you doin’ in this city all alone

If you haven't got the money, and I'm bettin’ that you don't

You will need the help of strangers, and I'm bettin’ that they won't

Little girl

What are you doin’ with a child of your own

Did your momma ever tell you how you came to be her child

How your daddy did not stay to see you born

Now, your momma sits and worries

That her baby's runnin’ wild

Now her baby's got a baby of her own

Ah, little girl

What are you doin’ with a child of your own

Little girl

What are you doin’ in this city all alone

If you haven't got the money, and I'm bettin’ that you don't

You will need the help of strangers, and I'm bettin’ that they won't

Little girl

What are you doin’ with a child of your own

Did you think about your baby as you walked the halls at school

Did you dream about how perfect she would be

Now, she cries all night from hunger till you don't know what to do

But you know you're feelin’ anything but free

Ah, little girl

What are you doin’ with a child of your own - of your own

Little girl

What are you doin’ in this city all alone - all alone

If you haven't got the money, and I'm bettin’ that you don't

You will need the help of strangers, and I'm bettin’ that they won't

Little girl

What are you doin’ with a child of your own - of your own

Ah, little girl

All alone
