What a Little Girl Don’t Know Songtext
von Skeeter Davis

First tear I remember cryin′ was when my puppy lay a dyin'
And mama sayin′ there is nothing we can do
And when mama tucked me in I'd say my prayers and cry again
Little puppy I'm sure gonna miss you

Mama said now child don′t cry you′ll forget it by and by
And there'll be other things in life to hurt you so
She said after all you′re ten so I said I wouldn't cry again
That just shows you what a little girl don′t know

'Cause I′m still cryin', cryin
Cryin' for a love I miss so
Cryin′, cryin′, shows you what a little girl don't know


Don′t know how my mama knew some day I'd fall in love with you
And you′d be the one in life to hurt me so
Well, I guess I told a lie when I said I wouldn't cry
That just shows you what a little girl don′t know

Now, I am a grown up girl living in a cruel world
Remembering every word my mama said
I'm cryin' now like I cried then
And I know I′ll cry again
′Cause now I know your love for me is dead

And I'm still cryin′, cryin'
Cryin′ for a love I miss so
Cryin', cryin′, shows you what a little girl don't know

Cryin', cryin′
Cryin′, for a love I miss so
Cryin'
