The young girl says no to her fumbling beau 
 And she can't help from wondering why 
 And how she might feel 
 If she ever revealed 
 The love she so carefully hides 
 So she hides 
    She hides in her little girl world 
 Safe from the forces that make her give in 
 Safe from the boy who tries time and again 
 And goes home   
 Her mother said wait 
 From the time she turned eighteen 
 For the right man would someday appear 
 And don't you give in 
 To those fast-talking men 
 They'll just love you and leave you my dear 
 So she hides   
 She hides in her little girl world 
 Safe from the forces that make her give in 
 Safe from the boy who tries time and again 
 And goes home   
 Where's the rainbow 
 She stares out from the room 
 Where's my prince on his white horse 
 Lord I hope he comes soon   
 And the boy comes 
 The boy goes 
 And nobody else really knows 
 What she knows 
 She won't say 
 But she knows that he'll be back on the very next day 
 So she hides   
 She hides in her little girl world 
 Safe from the forces that make her give in 
 Safe from the boy who tries time and again 
 And goes home   
 He will be back again 
 He will be back again
