Little Girl
Morrison Van and Them Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little girl, little girl
Thought you were on your way to school
Little girl, little girl
Thought you were on your way to school
Do you remember?
You went and broke your teacher's rule

Well, I walked by your classroom

I had to take a look
I stopped a while and watched what you
Had written in your book
'Cause I love ya
And I don't care
A-what they say

Saw you from my window
Standin' by the big oak tree
I sat and thought and wondered, baby
About how it used to be
And miles and miles
Of golden sand
A-walking, a-talkin'
Hand in hand
And I've got you
In my soul
I really do believe
I've got you in my soul

Got you
Got you
Got you
I got you, in my soul
In my, a-in my soul
You're so sweet, angel

I got you, a-in my soul
I love you, I need you
Wild child
Oh child
Whoa, child
Oh-oh, child

Whoa, child
Whoa, child
Ah-ha
Alright!

Alright
Child

Line by Line Meaning

Little girl, little girl
Addressing a young girl

Thought you were on your way to school
Assuming she was headed to school

Do you remember?
Asking if she recalls

You went and broke your teacher's rule
Pointing out her disruption of class

Well, I walked by your classroom
Narrating the story

I had to take a look
Being intrigued by the girl

I stopped a while and watched what you
Observing her actions

Had written in your book
Noticing her writing in her notebook

'Cause I love ya
Expressing affection for the girl

And I don't care
Not worrying about what others think

A-what they say
Ignoring their opinions
