woman but I still feel like a girl Even though I've grown up tall I feel small in this big world The candles that I'm blowing are adding up as time goes by I used to wish to be a grown up, now I miss the girl inside Oh those days of playdates in my friend's backyard Sand pit spades, dress ups, potions, monkey bars! Now we're paying off our debt Dealing with our daily stress If I could just forget, I'd go straight back to When I was young My boyfriend has just left me for a great job overseas I remember Johnny Abbott in Grade Five- he'd never leave Well my rent is overdue and my laundry's piling up I don't want to go to work today it all feels like too much And when I look at photographs and all that's happened in the past I wish that I could take myself back there And I like Fairybread the best Make believe that I'm a princess And mum and dad will tuck me in And give me a Butterfly Kiss Good night, sleep tight I NEED TO KNOW (I COULD) And I know it's my decision to go On my own, on my own And I think, well am I making the right choice? I hope, oh I hope I am following my dreams Or so it seems, or so it seems But it gets harder as the time draws near For me to leave, for me
