Little Girl - Robert Francis

You said you want to be outside and you want to feel alive

I said I didn’t want to move I just wanted to survive

So I sit here waiting for the sun to come

And I watched it rise like we’d never done

I want to kill myself just to kill all the pain

But then you’d know you’d feel like you’re the one to blame

You were just too young and just too smart

Probably the best candidate for a broken heart

Rock and roll my little girl

Rock and roll in your big big world

Rock and roll my little girl

Rock and roll in your big big world

In a drunken state I call your name

From the bottom of my soul to the blood in my veins

Those days in the car when I couldn’t pull through

You sang to me and all I wanted was you

I cant seem to do anything right anymore

How the days are so long and the nights are a blur

I want you to know that I’ll always be the only one there

While you listen to his heartbeat

While he runs his hands through your hair

Rock and roll my little girl

Rock and roll in your big big world

Each day he works past the 9 to 5

Tell me tell me how does he know if you’re even still alive

You made a portrait of myself and it made me cry

And through all the tears I lost I looked myself in the eye

What kind of man have I become that I have to let this go Fate has made a fool of me I’ll reap now what I sow

We were just two people alike indignity

Felt the ancient grudge to the mutiny of me And I guess this is where we’ll end our scene

Where my civil blood leaves my seething hands unclean

Rock and roll my little girl

Rock and roll in your big big world
