歌曲歌詞
There was a time that you curled up
In my lap like a child
You＇d cling to me smilin＇
Your eyes wide and wild
Now you slip through my arms
Wave a passing hello
Twist away and toss a kiss
Laughin＇ as you go
You used to say ＂Read me a story ＂
And ＂Sing me songs of love ＂
For you were Princess Paradise
On the wings of a dove
Now I chase you and I tease you
Tryin＇ to remake you my own
You just turn away and say
＂Please leave me alone ＂
And I＇m a tangled up puppet
All hangin＇ in your strings
I＇m a butterfly in a spider＇s web
Fluttering my wings
And the more that I keep dancin＇
And spinning ＇round in knots
The more I see what used to be
And the less of you I＇ve got
You are a drawer full of make-up
And rinses and things
You keep changing your moods
Like your earrings and rings
But tonight while we played tag
For five minutes in the yard
Just for a moment I caught you off-guard
And I＇m a tangled up puppet
All hangin＇ in your strings
I＇m a butterfly in a spider＇s web
Fluttering my wings
And the more that I keep dancing
And spinning ＇round in knots
The more I see what used to be
And the less of you I＇ve got
Now you write your secret poems
In a room just for your dreams
You don＇t find time to talk to me
About the things you mean
And what I mean is--
I have watched you take shape
From a jumble of parts
And find the grace and form
Of a fine work of art
Hey you my brand new woman
Newly come into your own
Don＇t you know
That you don＇t need
To grow up all alone
