Only little girls pretend

[axeslade]

Gah Charlie! *glomps*How I missed thee! *smooches*Now we can really reek havoc, mwahaha...reek? That doesn't look right, it sounds like smelly danger...gah your random is already rubbing off on me again! Okay, so I've been obsessing over this song all day, gotta share the lyrics

Tori Amos (as Ellen Amos)
Just Ellen

ever since i met you captured my heart
you treated me like a lady from the very start
guess i'm a little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see
that i have to grow older and change on my own
i want to be a singer, but go it alone
but it is so hard for me 'cause i don't want to see that

i'm too young for a man, yes I am
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend

i put on all the make-up that i can possibly find
i try to grow older in just a minute's time
but i can't compete with the ladies that attract your kind
so i rummage through my sister's things
hoping to find something that will catch your eye
to make you change your mind
so i won't have to leave, so you won't say to me

i'm too young for a man, yes I am
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend

i'm left out in the night
i've lost all my senses
i know this isn't right
but you've captured my defenses
i really am in love
well that's the way i feel
this game has to stop
'cause you know it can't be real

i'm too young for a man, yes I am
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend

i know i'd make you happy
but i'm too young for a wife
love is always special but i know i can't rush life
so i'm waiting in the wings to see what life will bring
and maybe in a few years when i am wise and tall
love will light again and shine upon us all
he says i'm a little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see

i'm too young for a man, yes I am
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
