Just Ellen
Tori Amos

Ever since I met you, you captured my heart.

You treated me like a lady from the very start.

Guess I'm a little girl in her dreams, who doesn't want to see,

That I have to grow older and change on my own.

I want to be a singer, but go it alone.

But, it is so hard for me 'cause I don't want to see that.


I'm too young for a man, but I'm too old for a boy.

So can't we just pretend that I am older that I really am,

But then, only little girls pretend.



I put on all the make-up that I can possible find,

I'm five years older in just a minute's time.

But, I can't compete with the ladies that attract your kind.

So I am rummage through my sister's things,

Hoping to find something that will catch your eye,

To make you change your mind,

So I won't have to leave, so you won't say to me,



I'm too young for a man, but I'm too old for a boy.

So can't we just pretend that I am older that I really am,

But then, only little girls pretend.



I'm left out in the night, I've lost all my senses.

I know this isn't right, but, you've captured my defenses.

I really am in love, well, that's they way I feel.

This game has to stop, 'cause you know it can't be real.



I'm too young for a man, but I'm too old for a boy.

So can't we just pretend that I am older that I really am,

But then, only little girls pretend.



I know I'de make you happy, but, I'm too young for a wife.

Love is always special, but, I know I can't rush my life.

So I'm waiting in the wings to see what life will bring.

And maybe in a few years when I am wise and tall,

Love will light again and shine upon us all.

He says I'm a little girl in her dreams, who doesn't want to see,



I'm too young for a man, but I'm too old for a boy.

So can't we just pretend that I am older that I really am,

But then, only little girls pretend.
