I don't know why it is you scare me
I don't know why I feel afraid
When you're around I feel uncertain
And lose sight of the plans I've made

You've got a nerve to be demanding
When you have nothing to begin
And though you say your door is never open to the world
I envy those who you let in

CHORUS
Little girl lost
Little girl lost
Little girl lost
Little girl lost
Little girl lost
Little girl lost
Lost, little girl

The boys in town can do without you
Your mother's not sure where you are
And in the darkness I will hold you to your word
The only sound a passing car

CHORUS
Little girl

When you run for shelter
You don't feel the wave (feel they're always calling you)
You don't agree with all the good things
As they are around you

I believe today may be
The first time I've regarded you (yes, they'll always be calling you)
With more and more
Than passing admiration

CHORUS
CHORUS
