It just took a little while for me to get my head together Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done Here I am, like a stranger in the house I grew up in And learned right from wrong, and if I did Well, the sun never shined enough on daddies growing older And mothers never died, but you did And I remember feeling guilty cause I couldn't wait to leave here Though I loved him every way that I knew how So I packed up all my yesterdays and headed for tomorrow It's almost tomorrow now And daddy's little girl is gone But where's the little girl gone? She bundled up her dirty jeans and teeny rubber magazines In search of what her life was all about With a little rag doll and Charlie Brown And an old suitcase full of hand-me-downs And the loneliness she knew so much about And now the dreams that I trusted And all the playthings have rusted But here I am, a woman somehow And all those growing pains of yesterday Are gonna get me through tomorrow Cause it's almost tomorrow now And daddy's little girl is home But where's the little girl gone? She bundled up her dirty jeans and teeny rubber magazines In search of what her life was all about With a little rag doll and Charlie Brown And an old suitcase full of hand-me-downs And the loneliness she knew so much about Oh, but I can still remember When he used to gaze out this window Wondering who I was and what I would become And it just took a little while for me To get my head together Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done Oh, yes, I can still remember When he used to gaze out this window Wondering who I was and what I would become And it just took a little while for me To get my head together Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done
