Songtext Little girl Paul Williams

Little girl

Little girl they said you'd end up lost
But little girls don't listen very well
And so you set out on your own
And wound up all alone
In San Francisco
San Francisco felt like home
Just like home
It's not the same with everybody gone
And now your mind is filled with doubt
The in crowds all moved out

But you loved those laughing days
And summer sun
When day old strangers you called friend
And swore those summer days would never end

But little girl your eyes are looking old
And nothing seems to matter any more
As if the world has passed you by
You're just too tired to cry
Little girl you always meant so well
But never found the best that you deserved
When you were always first to share
It isn't really fair

But how you loved the laughing days
And summer sun
When day old strangers you called friend
And swore those summer days would never end
But little girl your eyes are looking old
And nothing seems to matter any more
No one cares about the cost
Another little girl has wound up lost
