LaBelle, Patti - Little Girls Lyrics






Little girls sleep at night
Safe inside their dreams, is it a scheme
They think they'll grow up into Queens
I am old, I am young and wise
I'm just a little girl in low cut clothes
Who hides behind a face, but really knows
That you devise what a child get for free
Can loving be that way once for me?

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl

A women is what a woman gives
Sometimes she gives too much, look but don't touch
Most times for me, there's not enough
When a man fall in love, with me
He moves into me like he would a house
He decorates me and lives his fantasies out

If you devise what a child gets for free
And I'll be viewed that way once... of me

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl

With Love so Innocent,I found so late
When all I've done with love is
Played and made mistakes

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh hmmm
Tonight I'm just a little girl
Mhhhh tonight I'm just a little girl
Mhhhhh Tonight I'm just a little girl

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh

Come on and hold me tight
Don't turn off the light
Ohhh Just let your words embrace me
Like a fathers loving arms
Protect me from the night it will be alright
Cause tonight I'm just a little girl ohhh
Tonight I'm just a little girl
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
I'm just your little girl...

    Remember when this came out.. beautiful..

  16. n.... 9....

    "I've always loved this song." It took me so long to find it again, thanks to YouTube - a few years ago. I have so many beautiful memories from the 70s. The arrangement of the lyrics with the melody always stuck in my head. I remember I'd tried humming, "come on and hold me tight, don't turn off the lights...," and she finished the rest and I went out of my mind. Oh my goodness, I love this song.

    "Thank you Charles Romanowski for sharing your beautiful memories."

  17. A.... H....

    My aunts would play this when i was little and i be in there with them with a hairbrush in hand as my microphone...Man what Great Memories What Wonderful Family What Good Music!

  19. T.... A....

    U r my fantasy. I love U Scrappie.

    When it comes to her singing, Patti Labelle can do no wrong! She is talented. I met her 7 years ago. What a great and gracious lady she is. She took a photograph with me as well as signed an autograph!!! This is one of my favorite slow ones by her.

  21. D.... B....

    Beautiful.. I love this song. Powerful lyrics that make you watery eyed. Can you be trusted to protect her? Love her genuinely? Beauty buys what a child gets for free.. Sad.

    D.... B....

    yes today more than ever with so many men violating our "little girls"...

  22. C.... R....

    This song reminds me of my deceased wife... fly high Zoey lady bug

    C.... R....

    sounds like she was a lucky woman.

  23. R.... R....

    "When a man falls in love with me, he moves in to me like he would a house. He decorates me and he leaves his fantasies out."

    Those are some of the most powerful lyrics ever written.

    R.... R....

    He lives his fantasies out

    R.... R....

    The words to this song is so powerful

  24. C.... H....

    Dammm this is nostalgic for me. I’m 49 so this take me back to my childhood.

    T.... G....

  26. D.... U....

    I heard this song and David Harris These are the Moments in Pittsburgh and fell  in love with it. It reminds me of those days in 1978.  When I was hanging out in a club and drank too many rum &cokes. Because every-time I came back to my seat I had a rum & coke sitting in front of me and had no idea who was buying those drinks.  I was very young so I didn't bother to ask who was buying those drinks, I just kept drinking.. I do not drink rum & cokes since that night. But these two songs will remind me of my night drinking rum & coke in Pittsburg. Finally I have all 3 to complete my catalog of memories!!!

  27. M.... J....

    The tenderness of Patti..........nothing better in the world of music.

  28. F.... Y....

    My Favorite song of all time

    F.... Y....

    According to Ms Patti, it's her's as well

  29. M.... M....

    Reminds me off back in the day!😢

  30. p.... g....
