Struggling with Little 15? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Little fifteen You help her forget The world outside You're not part of it yet And if you could drive You could drive her away To a happier place To a happier day That exists in your mind And in your smile She could escape there Just for a while Little fifteen Little fifteen Why take the smooth with the rough When things run smooth It's already more than enough She knows your mind Is not yet in league With the rest of the world And its little intrigues Do you understand Do you know what she means As time goes by And when you've seen what she's seen you will Little fifteen Little fifteen Why does she have to defend Her feelings inside Why pretend She's not had a life A life of near misses Now all that she wants Is three little wishes She wants to see with your eyes She wants to smile with your smile She wants a nice surprise Every once in a while She wants to see with your eyes She wants to smile with your smile She wants a nice surprise Every once in a while Little fifteen
