little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
wrapped up in blankets,
in a cradle,
with people holding you,
and smiling,
but just you wait, little girl.

little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
crawling on the floor,
banging pots and pans,
with people looking,
and laughing,
but just you wait, little girl.

little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
on your own two feet,
with a backpack on you,
with people coming over,
and playing,
but just you wait, little girl.

little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
with a pen in your hand,
learning how to be smart,
with people teaching,
and praising,
but just you wait, little girl.

little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
everything’s a little bit harder,
learning how to grow up, but it’s better,
with people helping,
and caring,
but just you wait, little girl.

little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
in front of the mirror,
hating everything in you,
with people whispering,
and wounding,
but just you wait, little girl.

little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
fractured on the floor,
never ever good enough,
smart enough,
pretty enough,
perfect enough,
E  N  O  U  G  H.
with people hating,
and mocking,
but just you wait, little girl.

little girl, little girl,
look at you now,
you made it this far,
and there’s still more to go,
with people loving,
and cheering,
but just you wait, little girl.
