Little Lady - Mali Music

All you can count on is

Yourself little girl little lady

I can see the sparkle in your eyes

I can't wait to see you fly little lady

Life is but a dream right now Little lady

And then the years go by

10 piercing 15 and

Before you know it you're 25

Your heart's been broken and

You're terrified Little Lady

Gently down the stream Mercedes

Merrily merrily merrily Little lady

Life is but a dream Mercedes Little lady

Just a little girl Mercedes grown up

In a cold cold world Little lady

Where nothing is what it seems

Mercedes Little lady

Lies deception and false truths are

The substitutes of what used

To be your lullabies

Can't distinguish the laughter from the cries

Bags under your eyes so you use make up

To cover up what you cannot hide

And then you have daughters

And then they have sons

Who have daughters and those are the ones

Who have the opportunity to break

The curses that make the mothers by purses

With letters on them to show that

They're not worth less

We did it

We drop the ball like

A million times ladies I admit it

The blames on man

No need to split the difference

But God is raising up men who really get it

We got the same haircuts same clothes

But trust me baby girl something's different

It's accepting that we are not in control

Giving our lives to the one who is

He wipes our noses and subdue our fears

Honestly that's all it really is

In our youth we had hopes too

But some heroes never ever appear

Gently down the stream Mercedes

Merrily merrily merrily Little lady

Life is but a dream Mercedes Little lady

Just a little girl Mercedes

Grown up in a cold cold world Little lady

Where nothing is what it seems

Mercedes Sit down and count

The snowflakes falling on you

All you can count on is

Yourself little girl little lady

Gently down the stream Mercedes

Merrily merrily merrily Little lady

Life is but a dream Mercedes Little lady

Just a little girl Mercedes

Grown up in a cold cold world Little lady

Where nothing is

What it seems Mercedes Little lady

Little lady Mercedes Mercedes Little lady

Life is but a dream Mercedes
