Little girl fall in love with the red-head at school
Little girl doesn't understand...
Why the teachers expel her for kissing Natasha
Why her parents reject her for wearing those jeans
Why the class always leaves her alone in the corner
Or quite what all their muttering "lesbian" means.
Little girl draw a picture of Jesus and Judas
Little girl doesn't understand...
Why the priest tears it up and refuses her crayons
Why her sister won't sit with her now anymore
Why her best friend screams out that she's sick and a sinner
Or quite what all the snickering "lesbian's" for.
Little girl send a heart-card to cousin Kareen
Little girl doesn't understand...
Why her aunt says she can't come for Christmas this year
Why her father keeps beating her down every night
Why her penpals stopped sending her letters or just
Why "You're gay and I hate you!" was the last thing they'd write.
Little girl grow up quickly because you are forced
Little girl won't ever still understand...
Why the world is so scared of her rainbowy eyes
Why she faces abusive oppression each day
Why her spirit, disowned and disgraced by her family
Is labelled and slandered for just being gay.
