Little from Mixtape by Daisy O'Connor

Showed her face to the mirror
Girl we got a day to shine
Painted layers of make-up on
Bringing out the woman inside
Shaved all the way down her long legs
Momma’s voice yelling deep inside her head
You’re just a little, you’re just a little, you’re just a little boy in a dress

Showed her smile to the street man
He said girl, you lookin’ good
Toned down her swagger
Passing fast as she could
Feels him follow her to the show
Heart pound walking past the windows
And she’s just a little, she’s just a little, she’s just a little tired of this place

Showed her soul to the stage lights
Naked just for you
You want a little bit more of her
Words a silver screw
Beneath the makeup and the smile
She is just a girl wishing for the world
She’s not here for the money or the mirrors or the lines
She’s here for love
She wants to love you
And baby she wants to be loved by you

She’s not a little, she’s not a little
She’s not a little boy in a dress

She got the movie star glasses
And a strawberry sundress
Walks the streets of Manhattan
The suits are not impressed
She’s a lightswitch
Turns it on and off
The brightest diamond goes invisible
Now she just a little, she’s just a little
Lady in a summer dress
