I saw a broken seesaw
It wouldn't go up and down
While shining eyes watched
She tried to break out
To be a lady
She ran away out of sight
She takes no notice
She's growing too soon and she's losing it all
To someone younger
She wants the, she wants the playground
She's much older
She wants the, she wants the playground
No one told her
Why?
The world is such a big place
The little girl, she is frightened
She wants the playground
But it's hot, it is broken
She feels so lonely
They all know it's too late
She's lost her best friend
She wants to return
But the playground is gone
She feels so lonely
She's lost her best friend
She wants the, she wants the playground
She's much older
She wants the, she wants the playground
No one told her
She wants the, she wants the playground
She's much older
Goodbye, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
She wants the, she wants the playground
She's much older
She wants the, she wants the playground
She's much older
She wants the, she wants the playground
Now I told her she wants the playground
She's much older
She wants the playground
She's much older
