Just Ellen Lyrics & Chords By Tori Amos

ever since i met you you captured my heart
you treated me like a lady from the very start
guess i'm a little girl in her dreams who doesn't want to see
that i have to grow older and change on my own
i want to be a singer but go it alone
but it is so hard for me 'cause i don't want to see that

i'm too young for a man but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend that i am older that i really am?
but then only little girls pretend

i put on all the makeup that i can possible find
i'm five years older in just a minute's time
but i can't compete with the ladies that attract your kind
so i am rummage through my sister's things
hoping to find something that will catch your eye
to make you change your mind
so i won't have to leave so you won't say to me

i'm left out in the night i've lost all my senses
i know this isn't right but you've captured my defences
i really am in love well that's they way i feel
this game has to stop 'cause you know it can't be real

i know i'de make you happy but i'm too young for a wife
love is always special but i know i can't rush my life
so i'm waiting in the wings to see what life will bring
and maybe in a few years when i am wise and tall
love will light again and shine upon us all
he says i'm a little girl in her dreams who doesn't want to see
