The young girl says no to her fumbling beau And she can't help from wondering why And how she might feel If she ever revealed The love she so carefully hides So she hides She hides in her little girl world Safe from the forces that make her give in Safe from the boy who tries time and again And goes home He mother said wait From the time she turned eight For the right man would someday appear And don't you give in To those fast-talking men They'll just love you and leave you my dear So she hides She hides in her little girl world Safe from the forces that make her give in Safe from the boy who tries time and again And goes home Where's the rainbow She stares out from the room Where's my prince on his white horse Lord I hope he comes soon And the boy comes The boy goes And nobody else really knows What she knows She won't say But she knows that he'll be back on the very next day So she hides She hides in her little girl world Safe from the forces that make her give in Safe from the boy who tries time and again And goes home
