When I was a Little Girl

All the things in the sky Made me want to fly I didn’t worry about anything Because I was just being I would go through the day And just play my way Everyone was my friend Because there were no enemies then My worries revolved around the playground And the ice cream truck made the most beautiful sound I was queen of everything Especially the little green swing I didn’t like boys Because they stole all my toys I loved school Back then when we all thought it was cool I would cry when I lost my doll And break down in the middle of the mall I pretended I was all grown-up And wanted a big girl cup I wouldn’t sleep by myself Scared of the monsters behind my shelf I would fall down Terrified of the clown I was innocent and pure Although I wasn’t sure Without a care in the world When I was a little girl
