what are you afraid of
little girl?
sittin there
all alone
and each time I get close
building that wall
a little higher
til I can't hardly see you
through the briks
what are you afraid of
little girl?
standing so close
I can smell you
but cannot touch you
leaving my sheets damp
but my eyes wide
holding me
but not very tightly
what are you afraid of
little girl?
smiling through
that mask of hair
I don't have a hammer
waiting in my sleeve
to bust up you heart
if you show it to me
what are you afraid of
little girl?
that nothing here is perfect?
well this ain't a perfect world
what are you afraid of
little girl?
don't you see my hand
reaching out
for you to hold?
I'm just sitting here
waiting here
for you to make up your mind
but I really would like to know
what you're so
afraid of
little girl
