Hey little mama
Don't you take it so hard
They never had the time for you
You wandered in their yard

Well, the magic all around you
And the golden dust are gone
You're all grown up
You've got a baby in your arms
You're all grown up
You've got a baby in your arms

Between the world of the humans
And your expanding heart
You've been holding your own hand
Baby, you've the sense to start

Now you're tryin' to be for somebody
What nobody was for you
Did you think that this would be
The hardest thing you'd ever do?
Did you think that this would be
The hardest thing you'd ever do?

And all your lovers
Like you never thought you could
And all your lovers
Like the moon, it loves the earth, well

He reminds you of your daddy
With all his tricks and charms
He reminds you of your daddy
Of the time he was 'round

You believe him when he tells you
He'll stop drinkin' for you
Yeah, you think that if you love him
Maybe he will change for you
Yeah, you think that if you love him
Maybe he will change for you

Hey little mama
Don't you take it so hard
While the things you are remembering
Will surface and depart

Maybe you won't feel so crazy
Maybe I'm no worse
And you will give your heart
A life that she deserves
And you will give your heart
A life that she deserves

'Cause all your lovers
Like you never thought you could
And all your lovers
Like the moon, it loves the earth, well
