it s hard bein little in a grown up world

Nikka Costa

Oh it s hard bein little in a grown up world
I bet shirley temple hated every curl
They think our life is easy
Like a song that s ligth and breezy
It s enough to make you queezy
When you know it s tough
Bein little in this mixed up world
Life is a riddle that just spins and twirls
And we re intimidated
When we ve merely imitated
Sophisticated people that we love
If only they d realize that we re people too
We re people who
Have problems too
But they never look at things from our point of view
So what can a little kid do
I wish they would let me live my life my way
Then they d see that I just might turn out ok
But look I m not complainin
That s just kids stuff
I m only explainin
That it s real tough
When you re caught in the middle
There is no aquittal
As long as you re little
In a grown up world
