Hey, that's just like a little girl I knew
Now 20 years have come and gone
But she fell this time and broke her heart in two
And, Lord, it seemed I wanted them so bad
I'd see a puppy in the window
And there were dreams of toys and storybooks
That little girl I knew ran after you
Guess I'm still that little girl
I can almost see the backyard
But she fell this time and broke her heart in two
And I'm still chasing things that I can't have
If I ran too fast I'd fall and hurt myself
Hey, that's just like a little girl I knew
And daddy'd say "Slow down, girl
Daddy used to tell me
But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And I'd get there before anyone else
Back home there stands an old house

Daddy, I still haven't slowed down yet
After all these years I guess nothing has changed"
And I'd run and press my face against the pane
With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree
And a little girl with freckles, that was me
That little girl I knew ran after you
