Big-girl Shoes
She’s the little girl with the big-girl shoes
The one that won’t let herself lose,
This is her game, you play by her rules,
The little girl with the big-girl shoes
She lets the die roll,
If they land wrong, she takes her toll,
A life for a life, a wrong for a wrong,
The way out is perilous and long.
The little girl with the big-girl shoes.
Wreathed in danger
You’d better watch out
She’s looking for something,
She won’t leave without.
The little girl with the big-girl shoes
She considers your plea, lets herself muse
Alright, she’ll let you go, for a price,
You will have to give her your life
There’s no way out, you’d better comply
The little girl with the big-girl shoes
She has you cornered, there’s no way you won’t lose
Sensing your defeat, she goes in for the kill,
Growing and maturing, a different girl,
She’s grown up in a whirl
No longer the little girl with the big-girl shoes
