Don't sit and shake your head at me
Im not going to disappear
I may not be as old as you
but theres truth behind each lonesome tear.
Please don't look at me that way
Im not as nieve as I may seem
I haven't lived as long as you
But I too have my own dreams.
Stop pretending that Im too young
to understand lifes every turn
wisdom doesn't come with age
But in each lesson that we learn.
Quit trying to protect me
From the errors of my way
just because I make mistakes
doesnt mean I'll repeat them every day.
Can't you see Im wiser then
I was the day before
I may not understand it all
But I've my whole life to learn more.
Don't you recall what its like
to be about my age
to discover the feelings of life
of love of hate and rage.
You too were once like me
eager to learn what lifes all about
You taught yourself all you know
and look how well you turned out.
So be patient with my questions
and give me time to grow
Im not the little girl you knew
For I too have things to show.
Dont look down on me from your height
Or think for a moment I dont understand
For theres more to me then ribbon and curls
and the marker on my hands.
Deep inside this childlike figure
theres a voice waiting to soar
You may not see me as a woman yet
But know I am not a little girl anymore...
