For all my hard talk, Im still just a daddys girl
In this hard shell, theres tiny cracks from a big world
And theres still monsters in my closet and they want to come and play
Theres still sounds in the dark, I wish theyd go away
I know, I know, I know, I know Im a big girl now
I know, I know, I know, I know I better work it out

Ive got a little girl of my own and she looks at me
Like Im a badass and you know that I wanna be
And now theres monsters in her closet and they wanna come and play
And I start looking for my dad to come and make em go away
I know, I know, I know, I know that its my job now
I know, I know, I know, I know I better work it out

In the circle game, no one ever stopped to say
Soon its gonna change, it all just goes away
Count your lucky stars that you had a chance to play
In the circle game, no one ever stops to say
Soon its gonna change, it all just goes away
Count your lucky stars that you had a chance to play

I had a hard day, and I need to find a hiding place
Can you give me just a second to make it through these growing pains?
And I know that its just life and I must go through things alone
But Im feeling kinda small, I want his hand to hold
I know, I know, I know, I know Im a big girl now
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know we all just work it out

In the circle game, no one ever stopped to say
Soon its gonna change, it all just goes away
Count your lucky stars that you had a chance to play
In the circle game, no one ever stopped to say
Soon its gonna change, it all just goes away

What is old, can it be new again?
And what goes out, does it come back in?
And we have to say goodbye, can we say hello again?
Oh, wheres the book that shows you how to be a big girl now?
Can I fall apart one more time before I work it out?
