when I was a little girl
my boyfriend at the door
handed me a christmas gift
but dad, he did not let him in
he send the boy away
asked him to come back later
a few years later

don't put too much make-up on
that skirt is way too short
call us when you're safely there
be sure they'll bring you home
and please don't be late
we will wait for you
we will wait for you

let me go
you want me to be
your little girl forever
let me go

you thought you raised me well enough
for me to not give up
but you know that the times were tough
and that I just ran out of luck
It's changing for the better
still with ups and downs
now let us leave this matter
so please just let me go

lately things have been okay
I pray that they may last
and my memories
may rest in peace

you want me to be
your little girl forever
let me go
