Oh, little girl, I can't be by your side
Oh, little girl, little girl, I can't be by your side
Papa always told me sense before pride
Oh, little girl, the sun is much too bright
Little girl, little girl, the sun is much too bright
Soon he's gonna notice something ain't right
Oh, love, it's not relief
Oh, love, it's not relief
It's in sweet misery
Little girl, I gotta leave this town
Oh, little girl, little girl, I gotta leave this town
Mama always told me no when to get out
So, little girl, baby, remember me
Little girl, little girl, baby, remember me
If I was nothing else, I was trying to stay free
