I Wish I Was a Little Girl Again

I wish I was a little girl again
Because when I was little
I didn't have to worry
About old men staring at me
I didn't have to be terrified of them
They didn't follow me around back then

I wish I was a little girl again
A smile from me meant nothing
More than a friendly hello
But now I'm asking for it
When my shirt lifts a little too high
And my midriff is exposed
I am asking for it

I wish I was a little girl again
Free to run without fear of eyes on my chest
Free to spin around in my little dress
I didn't have to worry about my body back then
Oh how I wish
I was a little girl again

They follow me at work
Or they pin me to a mattress
Why is my body the only thing they see?
I am still a little girl inside
Why are you doing this to me?
