(Kendal Franceschi/Quentin Powers)
Daddy used to tell me
If I ran too fast I'd fall and hurt myself

But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And I'd get there before anyone else


I'd see a puppy in the window
And I'd run and press my face against the pane
And Daddy'd say slow down girl

After all these years I guess nothing has changed

That little girl I knew

Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two

Hey that's just like a little girl I knew

Back home there stands an old house

With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree
I can almost see the backyard
And a little girl with freckles

That was me

And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and

Lord it seemed I wanted them so bad
Now 20 years have come and gone
And I'm still chasing things that I can't have


That little girl I knew
Ran after you

But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Hey that's just like a little girl I knew


Yes, I'm still that little girl


Daddy I still haven't slowed down yet
