Like Big Girls Do

from A Pretty Little One by The Late Joys

/

lyrics

Here comes a pretty little one, she's a pretty little sunshine girl
She wears flowers in her hair, she doesn't have a care in the world
She cries when she falls down, well we cry when we fall down, too
Pick yourself up, my little girl, like big girls do

Here comes another pretty one with a pretty little sundress on
She has a thing she wants to show you, then she's gonna sing you a song
She cries in the middle of the night when she wants her arms around you
Shake it off, my little girl, like big girls do (they do, it's true)

Yeah, you're only young once, they say
That doesn't mean you act that way
A glass of wine and a weekend garden
Keep you young at heart

Yeah, you grow up so fast, so what
That doesn't mean you get to give up
See the kids playing in the park
Keep you young at heart

Here comes another little one, where they're coming from is anyone's guess
You swear, with every passing year, they're lovely as the moment you met
Time flies have you ever wondered why, but not all the mythology's true
Make it up as you go along like little ones do
