Ridin' on her bicycle to school
|
A little girl out breakin' all the rules
|
She don't care about the birds and bees
|
She's too busy skinnin' both her knees
|
With the arms of a loving childhood wrapped around her
|
All the wonders of the world surround her
|
And with the angels up above her soul to keep
|
In her bed down here below she falls asleep
|
|
She don't need nobody
|
She don't need nobody
|
She don't need nobody now
|
|
All grown up and livin' on her own
|
She goes to work and then comes home alone
|
But she believes someday her prince willl come
|
There's a lot of life to go at 21
|
With nothing but her faith in love to guide her
|
Walk right through that dorr and bet it all
|
Confident she can take the fall
|
|
She's ready for somebody
|
She's ready for somebody
|
She's ready for somebody now
|
|
As the years go by
|
The woman's not so sure
|
She feels an ache inside
|
That seems to have no cure
|
How did life get so long
|
Does no one ever stay
|
Was the dream of one true love
|
Just lost along the way
|
But she believes she has so much to give
|
Is there any other reason why we live
|
|
She still wants somebody
|
She still wants somebody
|
She still wants somebody now
|
|
Now that little girl is growing old
|
All of her sad stories have been told
|
But there are no regrets, she'll place no blame
|
She knows for everyone it is the same
|
Even when the well runs dry and the bread's unleavened
|
And she wondersif there really is a heaven
|
She finds her way back to that little girl
|
And wraps her empty arms around the world
|
|
She don't need nobody
|
She don't need nobody
|
She don't need nobody now
|
