Lyrics
K. Pearlman
Little Minnie got bullied in school
She just wanted to feel cool
But all the girls there didn’t care
The boys teamed up with the girls
She hadn’t a chance in the world
To make them like her as they should
She’s all grown up now
Just livin’ her world
She’s still the same inside
As that little girl
She’s all grown up now
Just livin’ her world
With her own family
She’s still that little girl
She went on to Ivy league school
And earned her MFA
Found that writing was her escape
She wrote a musical
Worked on it for seven years
When it came out the critics booed
They couldn’t know what it feels like
To be in her own shoes
Needing their approval was something she held on to
Until that fateful day when she realized that writing
Was her escape
She’s all grown up now
Just livin’ her world
She’s still the same inside
As that little girl
She’s all grown up now
Just livin’ her world
With her own family
She’s still that little girl
She’s all grown up now
Just livin’ her world
She’s still the same inside
As that little girl
She’s all grown up now
Just livin’ her world
With her own family
She’s still that little girl
