 Little Ten year Old
Little Ten Year Old

Walking down the street in a little skirt so tight
No shoes on her feet but something's not quite right
Once you get to know her; this girl you cannot hold
Although she looks much older, she's only ten years old

With makeup on her face, this girl she has no friends
She seems so out of place amongst the young children
She doesn't act her age; I think it's such a shame
Like locked in a cage, this little girl remains

She smiles at all the men that drive on down the street
She wears her mother's scent and tries to be discreet
The secrets that she holds, she keeps insider herself
It's tearing at her soul; she's reaching out for help

Where are her parents, why can't they hear her cries?
Can't they see the evidence she hides behind her lies?
When will they notice before it gets too late?
Once she tastes one kiss; she's fallen for the bait

Little ten year old, please open up your eyes
This life can be cold, it never satisfies
Don't grow up way too fast, enjoy it while you can
Please make your childhood last, one day you'll understand
