Little Girl

You can turn out the light now, there's nothing under my bed or in the closet door
You can pop in a horror show, I won't hide under the covers, I'm not scared anymore
I don't need you to tell me to look both ways before crossing the street
It's not like I'm gonna run out in front of the cars anyway

They never leave me alone for two seconds
Everytime I turn around there's always somebody
Watching me, analyzing me
Why can't they just let me be?

(Chorus)
I'm tired of being called a little girl
Saying I don't know what I want, but I do, so back off
I don't need anyone standing over me, being their property, overprotecting me
I can do things for myself, don't need nobody else, I would've asked if I needed help
But I don't because I' alright, I'm done for
I'm not a little girl anymore

I'm sick and tired of people criticizing me or gasping everytime I swear
I'm not being offensive and even if I was, I'm just being myself
Why do people assume that I'm just not old enough to do anything on my own
I can handle everything eventually anyway

(Repeat chorus)

I know it's easy to back out, I'm willing to stand out
I can handle anything that can come against me
I'm no longer lonely, forgetful, if only I can get you to open your eyes and see
I'm slowly evolving, advancing as stronly as a women like me should be
Independent, fire and ice wise, and the courage to stand proud and say out loud she's not a little girl anymore

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
