Why Do Little Girls

Note: * this is played exactly like regular but you have to mute the string [Intro] *        *    x2 [Verse 1] Why did the little girls grow crooked While the little boys grew tall The boys were taught to tumble The girls told not to fall The girls answered the telephone The boys answered the calls That’s why little girls grew crooked While the little boys grew tall [Interlude] *        *     [Verse 2] Why did the little girls grow crippled While the little boys grew strong The boys allowed to come of age The girls just come along The girls were told sing harmonies While the boys could all sing songs That’s why little girls grew crippled While the little boys grew strong [Interlude] *        *     [Verse 3] Why did the little girls come broken While the little boys came whole And the little boys were all set aflame And the girls told fan the coals The boys were told to be themselves The girls were told play roles That’s why little girls came broken While the little boys came whole [Interlude] *        *     [Verse 4] Why were the little girls made frightened To be just what they are The boys were told to ask themselves How high how far The girls were told to reach the shelf While the boys were reachin’ stars That’s why little girls were frightened To be just what they are [Interlude] *        *     [Bridge] And still they bled for us all As the moon road the sky They carried our seed When our need ran high And they fed all our children In the night as they cried Woman kind wept As mankind died [Interlude] *        *     [Verse 5] Why were the little girls left hurtin’ When all the boys were done And then left there in the moonlight When the boys went to meet the sun And when the girls were open Why had the little boys all won? That’s why little girls were hurtin’ When all the boys were done [Interlude] *        *     [Outro] Why did the little girls grow crooked While the little boys grew tall It’s maybe ’cause the little boys didn’t have to Grow up at all
