  There's a little girl
  not far away

  
  

  All she wants to do
  is go outside and play

  
  

  She doesn't want a fortune
  or a bed made out of gold

  
  

  She just wants to play
  before she gets too old

  
  

  She wants to feel the grass
  under her bare feet

  
  

  She wants to climb a tree
  and hear the baby birds peep

  
  

  She wants to feel the sun
  shining on her face

  
  

  Without the barrier of a window
  that is put into place

  
  

  She wants to run through the flowers
  without hurting their growth

  
  

  She wants to learn to hopscotch
  and how to jump a rope

  
  

  But she isn't allowed to go outside
  especially all alone

  
  

  And mama doesn't feel like watching her
  so she must stay within her home

  
  

  Mama is too busy,
  at least that's what she said

  
  

  So the little girl
  plays beside her bed

  
  

  Mama needs her rest
  or so her story goes

  
  

  So the little girl
  falls deeper in her hole

  
  

  Mama has to go out tonight
  that is what she claims

  
  

  So the little girl
  feels she is to blame

  
  

  Mama has a headache now
  that is how she acts

  
  

  So the little girl
  gives up and she starts to pack

  
  

  Mama doesn't have time
  and brushes her away

  
  

  So the little girl
  decides to leave instead of stay

  
  

  "Goodbye mama," the little girl
  whispers as she walks out the door

  
  

  You really hurt me
  all the way down to my core

  
  

  I hope you get better
  from all your common pains

  
  

  I hope by me leaving
  doesn't drive you insane

  
  

  I am leaving here and
  this prison of a house

  
  

  So now you have time to
  devote to your boyfriend,
  the louse.

  
  

  Be happy and don't worry
  I'll make it on my own

  
  

  Because mama, when you
  weren't looking

  
  

  I became a woman
  Full grown.
