She's drawing pictures of herself
And giant-size men in a Lilliput world
She knows some stories but never tells
Of all her haunted adventures

Because the big bad wolf has whispered in her ear
That no one else must know what happens here
And she must never ever breathe a single word
Or he'll blow down her fairytale world

Now safely in her mother's arms
Her tears are like diamonds that roll down her cheeks
She's afraid and she's ashamed
But the spell is so strong that she just cannot speak

The big bad wolf has whispered in her ear
That no one else must know what happens here
And she must never ever breathe a single word
Or he'll blow down her fairytale world

She is so shy, just like a deer
And when she scents danger, she knows she must hide
In the forest she'll disappear
Away from those sharp teeth and piercing gray eyes

And the big bad wolf will never find her here
Or fill her small heart up with fear
And she will never ever breathe a single word
She'll stay in her fairytale world

She will never ever breathe a single word
She'll just stay in her fairytale world
