10. Little Girl (Reprise)
Little Girl you got the world on your shoulders
Little Girl used lemon shark infested waters
Little Girl you haven't gotten much sleep lately
Little Girl I think that you are going crazy

Well you got so many things to do why do people keep pushing you down to the ground
and everywhere you turn it's like somebody wants something new from you
a piece of you
and people will look at you like somebody or someone to look up to
you'll always be under stress my darling it might seem a mess

(2X)that's life it's yours it's mine it's ours

Little Girl you're told to do things on time
Little Girl people keep saying you'll go far in life
Little Girl what is the reason for those tears
baby girl you tell me it is just fear

Well you got so many things to do why do people keep pushing you down to the ground
and everywhere you turn it's like somebody wants something new from you
a piece of you
and people will look at you like somebody or someone to look up to
you'll always be under stress my darling it might seem a mess





(2X)that's life it's yours it's mine it's ours
