(kendal franceschi, quentin powers) | |
Daddy used to tell me | |
If i ran too fast i'd fall and hurt myself | |
But the ice cream man would ring his bell | |
And i'd get there before anyone else | |
I'd see a puppy in the window | |
And i'd run and press my face against the pane | |
And daddy'd say slow down girl | |
After all these years i guess nothing has changed | |
Chorus: | |
That little girl i knew | |
Ran after you | |
But she fell this time | |
And broke her heart in two | |
Hey that's just like a little girl i knew | |
Back home there stands an old house | |
With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree | |
I can almost see the backyard | |
And a little girl with freckles | |
That was me | |
And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and | |
Lord it seemed i wanted them so bad | |
Now 20 years have come and gone | |
And i'm still chasing things that i can't have | |
Repeat chorus | |
Yes, i'm still that little girl | |
Daddy i still haven't slowed down yet |

Hey that' s just like a little girl i knew | |
Back home there stands an old house | |
With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree | |
I can almost see the backyard | |
And a little girl with freckles | |
That was me | |
And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and | |
Lord it seemed i wanted them so bad | |
Now 20 years have come and gone | |
And i' m still chasing things that i can' t have | |
Repeat chorus | |
Yes, i' m still that little girl | |
Daddy i still haven' t slowed down yet |
