Have tantrums like silver slanting rain
Walk up to strangers
Parade with my pride
And stride like a lion up
A mad mountainside
So steep, so lovely
Don't think about the fall
Then suddenly, no warning
No nothing, I'm small
I'm small
Smaller than anyone, smaller than you
You see, I'm really the kind
To cower in the corner
And pray that some guy
Will have a kind word to say
Then be tiny in his arms
And be stroked to my heart
And coaxed and caressed
And combed and undressed
Then finally I'll trust him
Abandon it all
Then suddenly, no warning
No nothing, I'm too tall
I'm tall, taller than anyone
Taller than boys
I'm tall, taller than anyone
Taller than you
The pendulum swings both ways
And I lose my equilibrium
I swing so fast inside it's motion
That I become the hum
I become the hum
You see I'm really the kind
To walk the avenues
And criticize the mannequins
And ogle the jewels
Justify spending the cash
I don't have
Break resolutions
With a naughty little laugh
I'm nothing unless
I'm the belle of the ball
And then suddenly
No warning, no nothing
I've got it all, I see it all
I have it all, I have it all
It is, it is, it is, it is
It is, my soul, my soul
I'm really the kind to dazzle and twirl Have tantrums like silver slanting rain Walk up to strangers Parade with my pride And stride like a lion up A mad mountainside So steep, so lovely Don't think about the fall Then suddenly, no warning No nothing, I'm small I'm small Smaller than anyone, smaller than you You see, I'm really the kind To cower in the corner And pray that some guy Will have a kind word to say Then be tiny in his arms And be stroked to my heart And coaxed and caressed And combed and undressed Then finally I'll trust him Abandon it all Then suddenly, no warning No nothing, I'm too tall I'm tall, taller than anyone Taller than boys I'm tall, taller than anyone Taller than you The pendulum swings both ways And I lose my equilibrium I swing so fast inside it's motion That I become the hum I become the hum You see I'm really the kind To walk the avenues And criticize the mannequins And ogle the jewels Justify spending the cash I don't have Break resolutions With a naughty little laugh I'm nothing unless I'm the belle of the ball And then suddenly No warning, no nothing I've got it all, I see it all I have it all, I have it all It is, it is, it is, it is It is, my soul, my soul Explain Request ×
