Little Girl lyrics

A trick that people use to make you think they are smart

Is confidence when actually they're lost in the dark

Only someone with the mind of a child says he'll grow up

'Cause surfin' down the avalanche your life will show up

It's nice to be loved, it can never happen too late

I wanna share my food, but you have stolen my plate

Hey now, hey now, go your way now

You tortured little girl

Showing them what love is all about

Where did all the time go?

Everywhere it's gone, gone, gone

You get the point now

You pick your self up off the bar, she's on his arm now

'Cause they remind you of the pictures on the wall now

But she was young and I wasn't not even born yet

If you think I know a little more than

The average person on the streets, you aren't correct

Because I'm ignorant as shit, not here to preach, man

You know I just wanna have fun, go to the beach, man

That's all I am, I'm just a simple guy who talks when

You put a microphone in front of him

You twisted little girl

Showing them what life is all about

Where did all the time go?

Everywhere it's gone

Running laps in a relationship

Going in circles and I just can't wait

Running laps so we can get in shape

Get in shape because we can't escape

Running laps because I'm already late

Really not, I'm in the exact same place

Running laps in your relationship

Running away from the shadows themselves

The world's always amazed at how much cash you made

But not at how you made it, it's just strange

It sounded kinda cool over the phone

It killed your neighbours and their dog and crushed their bones

You tortured little girl

Showing them what laughter's all about

Where did all the wine go?

Every night it's gone

You got it all worked out

Funny little girl

Showing them what pain is all about

Where did all the time go?

Every night it's gone, gone, gone

You're the coolest girl in this whole town

I just wanna parade you around

Put your perfect forehead on my plate

We could leave this town without a trace
