HERE I AM LIKE A
STRANGER IN THE HOUSE
I GREW UP IN AND
LEARNED RIGHT FROM
WRONG IF I DID
WHERE THE SUN
NEVER SHINED
ENOUGH ON
DADDY'S GROWIN' OLDER
AND MOTHERS NEVER
DIED IN BUT SHE DID
AND I REMEMBER
FEELIN' GUILTY
'CAUSE I COULDN'T WAIT
TO LEAVE HERE
THOUGH I LOVED THEM
EVERY WAY
THAT I KNEW HOW
SO I PACKED UP ALL
MY YESTERDAYS
AND HEADED
FOR TOMORROW
AND IT'S ALMOST
TOMORROW NOW
AND DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL
IS GONE
BUT WHERE IS
THE LITTLE GIRL GONE
SHE BUNDLED UP
HER DIRTY JEANS
AND TEENY BOPPER
MAGAZINES IN SEARCH
OF WHAT HER LIFE
WAS ALL ABOUT
WITH A LITTLE RAG DOLL
NAMED CHARLIE BROWN
AND AN OLD SUITCASE
FULL OF HAND ME DOWNS
AND THE LONELINESS SHE
KNEW SO MUCH ABOUT
4 BAR
BREAK
NOW THE DREAMS
THAT I TRUSTED
AND ALL THE
PLAYTHINGS
HAVE RUSTED
BUT HERE I AM
A WOMAN
SOMEHOW
AND ALL THOSE
GROWIN' PAINS
OF YESTERDAY
ARE GONNA GET ME
THROUGH TOMORROW
'CAUSE IT'S ALMOST
TOMORROW NOW
AND DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL
IS GONE
BUT WHERE'S
THE LITTLE GIRL GONE
SHE BUNDLED UP
HER DIRTY JEANS AND
TEENY BOPPER
MAGAZINES
IN SEARCH OF
WHAT HER LIFE
WAS ALL ABOUT
WITH A LITTLE RAG DOLL
NAMED CHARLIE BROWN
AND AN OLD SUITCASE
FULL OF HAND ME DOWNS
AND THE LONELINESS
SHE KNEW SO MUCH
ABOUT
AH BUT I CAN STILL
REMEMBER WHEN I USED
TO GAZE OUT THIS
WINDOW WONDERIN'
WHO I WAS AND WHAT I
WOULD BECOME
AND IT JUST TOOK
A LITTLE WHILE FOR ME
TO GET MY HEAD
TOGETHER
GROWIN' UP'S
THE HARDEST THING
I'VE EVER DONE
