Just a few short years ago I played a lot with Bill and Joe They seemed to think that I was quite a guy I could climb the highest tree And they would always follow me We had friendship I thought would never die
Then I changed from tomboy girl And grew into a woman?s world And moved away, leaving my old friends Now I?m miles and years away But I still dream of childhood days And I wish I was a little girl again
CHORUS Cause girls grow into women And boys grow into men And the world of make believe All too soon must end And I blame that awful change For the shape my life is in How I wish I was a little girl again
I married someone they don?t know And socially they?re far below The kind of life that I now live with him The man I married is cold to me For all his wealth he just can?t see That love cannot be bought you have to give
I wish I?d married one of them Instead of being here with him If I could leave right now I think I?d go I?d trade this mansion I hate so For a small treehouse with Bill or Joe I wish I was a little girl again
