Maybe I'm still a little girl
Waiting for the school bus alone
Tired with my three-quarter socks
Praying quietly in the corners
For being a bad girl
Maybe the prince has become a bore
Who keeps bothering me
Maybe life is not to dream

I just ask God
For a bit of mischief
Because I'm a child
And I don't know the truth
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love

Foolishness is not living the reality
And I still have a whole afternoon
And I walk the streets
I cash checks
I move a plant from place

I drive my car
I have my drink
And I still have time to sing
To sing

I just ask God
For a bit of mischief
Because I'm a child
And I don't know the truth
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love

I walk the streets
I cash checks
I move a plant from place

I drive my car
I have my drink
And I still have time to sing
To sing

I just ask God
For a bit of mischief
Because I'm a child
And I don't know the truth
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love

I just ask God
For a bit of mischief
Because I'm a child
And I don't know the truth
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love
I am a poet and I haven't learned to love

I just ask God
For a bit of mischief
Because I'm a child
