What a Little Girl Don't Know

First tear I remember cryin' was when my puppy lay a dyin' And mama sayin' there is nothing we can do And when mama tucked me in I'd say my prayers and cry again Little puppy I'm sure gonna miss you Mama said now child don't cry you'll forget it by and by And there'll be other things in life to hurt you so She said after all you're ten so I said I wouldn't cry again That just shows you what a little girl don't know 'Cause I'm still cryin', cryin Cryin' for a love I miss so Cryin', cryin', shows you what a little girl don't know Don't know how my mama knew some day I'd fall in love with you And you'd be the one in life to hurt me so Well, I guess I told a lie when I said I wouldn't cry That just shows you what a little girl don't know Now, I am a grown up girl living in a cruel world Remembering every word my mama said I'm cryin' now like I cried then And I know I'll cry again 'Cause now I know your love for me is dead And I'm still cryin', cryin' Cryin' for a love I miss so Cryin', cryin', shows you what a little girl don't know Cryin', cryin' Cryin', for a love I miss so Cryin'
