Little Woman
 
(Here she comes, here she comes…)
 
Living mannequin.
Walk of a princess.
Bedazzled in sequins.
Beauty in excess.
 
Oh, little woman, the crowd parts for you.
Step onto the sidewalk, we all want a view.
 
Shade of her skin,
Deep Cabo tan.
Color of her eyes,
Hidden by Ray-Bans.
 
Opens her mouth,
We stop to listen.
Pull out some gloss,
Lips need to glisten.
 
Oh, little woman, people call for you.
Step out from the cafe, we all want a view.
 
(There she goes, there she goes…)
 
What’s she wearing? What’d she buy? Is that her beau? Is it all a lie?
​
Perfect on TV,
Keeping our dream,
Got a new movie,
She lives on a screen.
 
She’s so celeb,
She’s so special.
The moon in the day,
At night, celestial.
 
Oh, little woman, the lights flash for you.
Step out from the dark, we all want a view.
 
Yes, little woman, the world waits for you.
Step out from the dark, we all need a view.
