Don't you mess with a little girl's dream'Cause she's liable to grow up meanSurprise you to find that I'm laughing?You thought that you'd find me in tearsYou thought I'd be crawlingThe walls like a tiny mosquitoAnd trembling in fearWell, you may be king for the momentBut I am queen understandAnd I've got your pawns and your bishops and castlesAll in the palm of my hand[chorus]While you were looking the other wayWhile you had your eyes closedWhile you were licking your lips'Cause I was miserableWhile you were selling your soulWhile you were tearing a holeIn meDon't you mess with a little girl's dream'Cause she's liable to grow up meanI am beginning to feel goodWatching you squirm in your shoesA small bead of sweat on your browAnd a growl in your bellyYou're scared to let throughYou thought you could keep me from lovingYou thought you could feed on my soulBut while you were busy destroying my lifeWhat was half in me has become whole[chorus]I was gaining controlI have taken controlCome a little bit closer...Let me look at youI gave you the benefit of doubt, it's trueBut keep in mind my darlingNot every saint is a fool!
