Lyrics for Teaching Little Fingers To Play

I was young and naive All I wanted to do was please, please, please But things, they change And I'm a big girl now I'm all grown up (I'm all grown up) No one around to fix me now (There's no one around) Doing it my own way (I'm doing it, I'm doing it) I'm changing things up like I'm teaching little fingers to play I've worn myself out for you Shiny and clean for you But things, they changed And I'm a big girl now (I'm a big girl) I'm all grown up (I'm all grown up) No one around to fix me now (There's no one around) Doing it my own way (I'm doing it, I'm doing it) I'm changing things up like I'm teaching little fingers to play Nothing ever stays the same Youth and beauty don't remain The wise they say: adapt or die If you don't grow, you'll calcify But you're too scared to try But things, they change (they change and) And I'm a big girl now (I'm a big girl) I'm all grown up There's no one around to fix me now I'm all grown up There's no one around to fix me now I'm doing it my own way (I'm doing it, I'm doing it) Doing it my own way (I'm doing it, I'm doing it) Doing it my own way (I'm doing it, I'm doing it) I'm changing things up like I'm teaching little fingers to play
