LETRA

Just Ellen

Ever since i met you, you captured my heart
you treated me like a lady from the very start
guess i'm little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see
that i have to grow older and change on my own
i want to be a singer, but go it alone
but it is so hard for me cause i don't want to see that
I'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i am older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
I put on all the make-up that i can possibly find
i'm five years older in just a minute's time
but i can't compete with the ladies that attract your kind
so i rummage through my sister's things
hoping to find something that will catch your eye
to make you change your mind
so i won't have to leave, so you won't say to me
I'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i am older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
I'm left out in the night
i've lost all my senses
i know this isn't right
but you've captured my defenses
i really am in love
well that's the way i feel
this game has to stop
cause you know it can't be real
I'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i am older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
I know i'd make you happy
but i'm too young for a wife
love is always special but i know i can't rush life
so i'm waiting in the wings to see what life will bring
and maybe in a few years when i am wise and tall
love will light again and shine upon us all
he says i'm a little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see
I'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i am older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
