When You Leave My World

(альбом: I Wanna Be Free - 1971)

Just a honey haired girl in a paper doll world
That's what you are
You're only six, believe magic tricks
And wishing on a star

Today I can hold you
Tomorrow who knows what you'll do, ooh ooh
When you leave my world
What will the world do to you?

Will you win the hand of a man
Who will make your life gay
Or love many times only to find
You lose every game that you play

When you learn there's no magic
And dreams are just things that fall through
When you leave my world
What will the world do to you?

She plays in the sand and don't understand
The words I say
Or the fear mommy feels the wrong man will steal
My baby someday

Today I can hold you kiss and console you
Tomorrow who knows what you'll do
When you leave my world
What will the world do to you?

Will you win the hand of a man
Who will make your life gay
Or love many times only to find
You lose every game that you play

When you learn there's no magic
And dreams are just things that fall through
When you leave my world
What will the world do to you?
