When I was a little girl
My daddy left me
Got me wonderin
Would he forget me?
And someone's
Took my money
From my treasure chest
Daddy's not here
To go and get it back

So as a little girl
I learnt to fight back
Cause as a little girl
I was always under attack

Tell me when it's over
Tired of looking over
My shoulder
If life's like the movies
Let this be the last scene
We all have ups and downs
This world
Still spins around
Still spins around

Lifes ups and downs

As a little girl
Defenceless
Dependant
Alone
The as a big girl
I found a place
I could call home
Living my dreams
That you'll never see
So daddy
How does that feel?

You write me off
Like yesterday
Didn't have to be this way
Didn't have a voice
Didn't have a say
So running is what you do
You won't see me cry
I won't fight for you
