Hey, little girl
Black and white and right and wrong
Only live inside a song
I will sing to you
 
You don't ever have to feel lonely
You will never lose any tears
You don't have to feel any sadness
When you look back on the years
 
How can I look you in the eyes,
And tell you such big lies?
The best I can do is try to show you
How to love with no fear
My little girl
You've gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You've stole my heart
And made it your own
