Little Lady Lyrics | Mali Music

All you can count on is yourself little girl, little lady
I see the sparkle in your eyes
I can't wait to see you fly little lady
Life is but a dream right now (little lady)
And then the years go by
10 Turns to 15 and before you know you're 25

Your heart's been broken
And you're terrified (little lady)
Gently down the stream (miss sadie)
Merrily, merrily, merrily (little lady)
Life is but a dream (miss sadie, little lady)
Just a little girl (miss sadie) grown
Up in a cold, cold world (little lady)
Where nothing is what it seems (miss sadie, little lady)

Lies, deception, and false truths
Are the substitutes of what used to be your lullabies
Can't distinguish the laughter from the cries
Bags under your eyes, so you use
Make-up to cover up what you cannot hide
Then you have daughters, and then
They have sons, who have daughters
And those are the ones

Who have the opportunity to break
The curses that make the mothers
By purses with letters on them to show
That they're not worth less
We did it
We drop the ball like a million times ladies, I admit it

The blame's on man, no need to split the difference
But God's raising up men who really get it
We got the same haircuts, the same clothes
But trust me baby girl something's different
It's accepting that we are not in control
Giving our lives to the one who is
He wipes our noses and subdue our fears

Honestly that's all it really is
In our youth we had hopes too
But some heroes never ever appear
Gently down the stream (miss sadie)
Merrily, merrily, merrily (little lady)
Life is but a dream (miss sadie, little lady)

Just a little girl (miss sadie) grown up in a cold
Cold world (little lady)
Where nothing is what it seems
(Miss sadie-sit down and count
The snowdrops falling on you
All you can count on is yourself little girl, little lady)
Gently down the stream (miss sadie)
Merrily, merrily, merrily (little lady)

Life is but a dream (miss sadie, little lady)
Just a little girl (miss sadie) grown up
In a cold, cold world (little lady)
Where nothing is what it seems (miss sadie, little lady)
Little lady (miss sadie) miss sadie (little lady)
Life is but a dream (miss sadie)
