When I was a little girl
|
My mama used to say
|
Don't do this
|
Don't do that
|
Now go outside and play
|
Well here I am
|
About five years old
|
Just another girl
|
Dancing on the doorstep to the world
|
|
And that's where Cupid shoots
|
And Cupid fails
|
I'm not afraid to say
|
I'm seventeen
|
Right in between
|
But I know I'm on my way
|
The mirror tells me
|
You're so fine
|
You should be having fun
|
But I'm standing on the crossroads
|
Of my highway to the sun
|
|
I gotta go for it
|
I gotta do it myself
|
Ain't gonna get much help
|
From anybody else
|
And I do believe
|
It's what I really want
|
To hang on to myself baby
|
I hang on to myself
|
|
Let me tell you
|
Today I'm still that little girl
|
I used to be back then
|
I don't give up
|
I won't give in
|
One day you'll understand
|
Here I am
|
I sing this song
|
Not just another girl
|
Standing on the threshold to your world
|
|
You gotta go for it
|
You gotta do it yourself
|
Ain't gonna get much help
|
From anybody else
|
So if you do believe
|
It's what you really want
|
Just hang on to yourself baby
|
Just hang on to yourself
|
|
Hello?
|
Some people say
|
One day baby you will see
|
Who is this?
|
You're gonna take that ride
|
For your destiny
|
It's your bubble girl
|
You better grab it while you can
|
|
You gotta go for it
|
You gotta do it yourself
|
Ain't gonna get much help
|
From anybody else
|
So if you do believe
|
It's what you really want
|
Just hang on to yourself baby
|
Just hang on to yourself
|
|

|
Hang On To Yourself
