Little Girl - Paul Williams

Little girl they said you’d end up lost

But little girls don’t listen very well

And so you set out on your own

And wound up all alone

In San Francisco

San Francisco felt like home

Just like home

It’s not the same with everybody gone

And now your mind is filled with doubt

The in crowds all moved out

But you loved those laughing days

And summer sun

When day old strangers you called friend

And swore those summer days would never end

But little girl your eyes are looking old

And nothing seems to matter any more

As if the world has passed you by

You’re just too tired to cry

Little girl you always meant so well

But never found the best that you deserved

When you were always first to share

It isn’t really fair

But how you loved the laughing days

And summer sun

When day old strangers you called friend

And swore those summer days would never end

But little girl your eyes are looking old

And nothing seems to matter any more

No one cares about the cost

Another little girl has wound up lost
