I Wish I Was a Little Boy Again

Just a few short years ago

I played a lot with Bill and Joe

They seemed to think that I was quite a guy

I could climb the highest tree

And they would always follow me

We had friendship I thought would never die


Then I changed from tomboy girl

And grew into a woman?s world

And moved away, leaving my old friends

Now I?m miles and years away

But I still dream of childhood days

And I wish I was a little girl again


CHORUS

Cause girls grow into women

And boys grow into men

And the world of make believe

All too soon must end

And I blame that awful change

For the shape my life is in

How I wish I was a little girl again


I married someone they don?t know

And socially they?re far below

The kind of life that I now live with him

The man I married is cold to me

For all his wealth he just can?t see

That love cannot be bought you have to give


I wish I?d married one of them

Instead of being here with him

If I could leave right now I think I?d go

I?d trade this mansion I hate so

For a small treehouse with Bill or Joe

I wish I was a little girl again


Chorus
