If you've ever been a girl you want this
A mirror on your wall to talk with
A ribbon in your hair to court with
If you've ever been a boy you want this
If you've ever been a boy you want this
A hug that's waiting home to warm you
Someone to say "Hey, you're on the right track"
If you've ever been a girl you want this
Pockets!
Rocks!
Your music!
Your books!
If you've ever been a girl you want this
A happy hurry slow there's time to grow
Answers when you want and silence when you don't
If you've ever been a boy you want this
If you never had a chance to grow older
Just a little by little at a time
If you never had a friend at your shoulder
One day I hope you will find
A mirror, and a ribbon
And time to slow down
If you've ever been alone
You want this
