The Hollies

Little Girl

(Tony Hicks)

Track 3 on album 'Confessions For The Mind' november 1970



She looks from side to side

The tear drops fill her eyes

As once again she hears the sound of shouting

Turns to the window pane

Funny there's rain again

Inside her head she hears the sound of shouting



They are fighting again

All she feels is cold and pain

She don't know whose side to take

Mother's or Father's

She can't know that soon they'll part

That they broke each other's heart

They are breaking up, but she don't understand it



She leaves the room in fright

Each time they start to fight

She runs up to her bed

But there's no sleeping

No light from anywhere

Clings to her teddy bear

But even teddy bear can't stop her weeping



Little girl dry your eyes

Your Ma and Pa one day will put you wise

Little girl don't you cry

You'll understand what happened by and by



{interlude}



They are fighting again

All she feels is cold and pain

She don't know whose side to take

Mother's or Father's

She can't know that soon they'll part

That they broke each other's heart

They are breaking up, but she don't understand it
