I remember when i was a little girl
Growin' up livin' in my own little world
So it seemed
I had my dolls and dreams

Mama was always there to comfort me
And her love
Wasn't nothin' quite like it
In the world that i knew of

Before i knew it, i was standing in my teens
Sweet little boy with his strong young arm holdin' me

I remember the first time i felt his kiss
Oh, it like to drove me crazy
And i remember sayin' i never felt nothin' like this

So i went and asked mama
Can you tell me what it means
And she said, you're in love
And that's every little girls dream

Baby, what you've found
Is every little girls dream

So i said, mama does love ever last
She says, where by now let the future come to pass
Just understand and enjoy what you've found
And listen to it just as long as your heart is sound

And love, there ain't nothin' quite like it
In the world anybody knows of
There are worlds all through my teens
Same little boy with his strong young arm lovin' me

I remember the first time i felt his kiss
Oh, it like to drove me crazy
And i remember sayin' i never felt nothin' like this

I remember sayin' to mama
I know just what you mean
I'm in love, and that's every little girl's dream

Woah, what i found
Is every little girl's dream

And i found mine, and mama says, me too baby
Once upon a time
It lifts you up, but it lets you down

There'll be another dream to bring it back around

There's something about the first time
That keeps you rememberin'
When you've found every little girl's dream

Every little girl's dream
I found
Every little girl's dream
(i remember the first time i felt his kiss)
Every little girl's dream
(i remember sayin' i never felt nothin' like this)
Every little girl's dream
(i found someone and i fell in love)
Every little girl's dream
(i remember sayin' i never felt nothin' like this)

She sits in the dark
Quietly cursing him and this love
While she's rehearsing every line
She's gonna say when she walks away
On a wing and a prayer

Looking back at her in the mirror is a stranger
Years that have passed, how they seemed to change her
A woman once able to stand on her own
Searches for strength to stand on her own
On a wing and a prayer

On a wing and a prayer
She's leaving tonight
Holding her heart in her hands
Somewhere out there she knows that she'll find a love that understands
Why she left there on a wing and a prayer

She held on to maybe as long as she could, knowing he wouldn't
Believeing he would, give her a single reason to stay
To keep her from breaking away on a wing and a prayer

On a wing and a prayer
She's leaving tonight
Holding her heart in her hands
Somewhere out there she knows that she'll find a love that understands
Why she left there on a wing and a prayer

Somewhere out there she knows that she'll find a love that understands
Why she left there on a wing and a prayer
Oh, why she left there on a wing and a prayer

His heart was tougher than a piece of leather
Had a will carved out of stone
He was stallion who had thrown every rider
No woman could seem to hang on
He had always been a fortress
With walls to high to climb
But then again he'd never seen Julie cry

He wasn't lookin for a woman
He was racin' with the wind
But he kinda took to Julie
Cause she kept up with him
Thought he'd out run her like the others
Leave her somewhere down the line
But then again he'd never seen Julie cry

He never thought that love would hit him
Like a train comin' out of the dark
He never thought a friend would hand him the keys to his own heart
He was like a ragin' river
One that's just to rough to ride
But then again he'd never seen Julie cry

But then again he'd never seen Julie cry

Oh how he wanted just to hold her
And wipe away the tears
But she turned him a cold shoulder
Said I've tried lovin' you for years
He didn't know that it was over
He thought he could make it right
But then again he'd never seen Julie cry

He never thought that love would hit him
Like a train comin' out of the dark
He never thought a friend would hand him the keys to his own heart
He was like a ragin' river
Oh one that's just to rough to ride
But then again he'd never seen Julie cry

Oh but then again he'd never seen Julie cry

Ooooooohhh

Until then he'd never seen Julie cry

There's a little bitty flame burnin' deep in my heart
You wanna make something of it?
Oh do you feel the same maybe just a little spark
You wanna make something of it?
Do you wanna turn it into somethin' that's a burnin' like a ragin' fire outta control
Well I'm waitin' for you tell me what you wanna do
You wanna make something of it?

There's a little bitty seed growin' deep in my soul
You wanna make something of it?
You got everything it needs just to help it to grow
You wanna make something of it?
Run wild like a vine if you only took the time
To meet me in the garden of love
It be a sweet situation if you had the inclination
Wanna make something of it?

Chorus:
Oh yeah I admit it
I love you yes I do
What you do with it is all up to you
ooooohhhhh yeah

Oh yeah I admit it
I love you yes I do
What you do with it is all up to you

oooooooooohhhh..

There little bitty flame burnin' deep inside my heart
Wanna make something of it?
Oh do you fell the same maybe just a little spark
You wanna make something of it?
Do you wanna turn it into something that burnin' like a ragin fire out of control
Well I'm waitin for you tell me what you wanna do
You wanna make something of it?

Well I'm waiting for you tell me what you wanna do
You wanna make something of it

Well I'm waiting for you tell me what you wanna do
You wanna make something of it?

Baby, what do you say we just get lost?
Leave this one horse townlike two rebels without a cause.
I got people in Boston.
Ain't your daddy still in Des Moines?
We can pack up tomorrow.
Tonight, let's flip a coin

Heads, Carolina Tails, California.
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer.
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean.
Where? It don't matter, as long as we're goin'
Somewhere together. I've got a quarter.
Heads, Carolina Tails, California.

We can load what we own in the back of a U-haul van.
Couple modern day Moses', searchin for the promised land.
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas.
We can drive for a day, and then we'll take a look at the map.

Heads, Carolina Tails, California.
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer.
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean.
Where? It don't matter, as long as we're goin'
Somewhere together. I've got a quarter.
Heads, Carolina Tails, California.

We're gonna get outta here if we gotta ride a Greyhound bus.
Boy, we're bound to outrun the bad luck that's tailin' us

Heads, Carolina Tails, California.
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer.
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean.
Where? It don't matter, as long as we're goin'
Somewhere together. I've got a quarter.
Heads, Carolina Tails, California.

O---oh, California! Carolina! California!
