They said, "Change your clothes,"
she said, "No, I won't."
They said, "Comb your hair,"
she said, "Some kids don't."
They said, "You can't leave,"
she said, "Yes I will."
They said, "Don't see him,"
she said, "His name is Bill."
She's on a roll and it's all uphill.
She's a wild one, with an angel's face.
She's a woman, a child, and a state of grace.
When she was three years old on her daddy's knee
he said, "You can be anything you want to be...."
She's a wild one running free.
She loves RnB
they said "It's Satan's tongue."
She thinks they're too old,
they think she's too young
and the battle lines are clearly drawn.
She has future plans and dreams at night.
When they tell her 'life is hard' she says,
"That's all right."
