See The World

Who is this girl
Who dresses so free
Not a man, not a woman
She says she likes me

You want what's best for me
All this I know
But I must break these chains
Please let me go

What do you know
You're only a child
This man, woman, boy
Well, she's rough and she's wild

Mother is right
when she says what to do
That's why she spends
All her time caring for you

Can't you see you're just (I'm not) a child
The world out there is rough and wild
A dangerous place for a girl
You can't (I must) go out and see the world

My heart is beating
My face is flush
I know that this feeling
Is no mere rush

Dear sister you say
That she'll make me cry
But sister of love you know
No more than I

She'll make you cry
She'll make me smile
She'll fill my mind
With thoughts so vile
She's just a player
She's quit the game
She makes my heart tremble
She'll leave you in shame
She'll ruin your life
With just one night?
Deep down she's a good woman
Who plays with a knife
And what of mother
She'll never know
I'll be back by the morning
Well, if that's so

Can't you see you're just (I'm not) a child
The world out there is rough and wild
A dangerous place for a girl
You can't (I must) go out and see the world

A fancy is common
For girls of our age
You've always been one
For taking the stage

I know I can't stop you
Or guard you from all
But I won't be there
To catch when you fall

Can't you see you're just (I'm not) a child
The world out there is rough and wild
A dangerous place for a girl
You can't (I must) go out and see the world

This is what will make me happy
Are you certain
Yes
I worry for you
I know you do
But I suppose, you may go. Just this once
Yes! Oh, you shan't regret this

And maybe sister
You'll learn just this once
There must be some fall out
For pulling your stunts

Loving and losing
Both come with your part
But I won't be there
When she breaks your heart

So you think you're not a child
The world out there is rough and wild
A dangerous place for a girl
You must go out and see the world
