lyrics

Your daddy and me don't get along
Cos when you're with me, he knows you're doing wrong
And every time we go out to play
He turns on his heel, has to look away

You're not his little girl anymore
With the pigtails in your hair
You're not his little girl anymore
Playing pretend when no one's there
Now you're on your own
Out in the world
Wond'rin where to go
But i'm here to see you on

Your momma smiles when i ring the door
Knowing i was there the night before
She calls your name and queries me a bit
But i can tell she doesn't give a shit

You're not her little girl anymore
Running barefoot through the yard
You're not her little girl anymore
She's tried to let go, but it's hard
You're all grown up
Trying hard to play your part
But i'm here now to help you start

Now momma and me get along just fine
We talk, share a laugh and a glass of wine
Daddy ain't ready to let it go
But in his head he already knows

You're not his little girl anymore
Drawing pictures on the wall
You're not his little girl anymore
All grown up and standing tall
Childhood's great,
But i'm afraid that it's the end
