[hometext] => What makes the woman
[bodytext] => The girl became a mother
The girlfriend became a wife. Your plastic pans Are now stainless steel You've upgraded your whole life Grown men are allowed to be schoolboys But where is the schoolgirl in you? Do you yearn to wear boas Big hats Ropes of pearls Mother's make-up Old handbags Big shoes? Do you ever sit chatting to Dolly While tidying the playthings away? Or give Bear a hug? Or take a quick sip From the tiny teacup on the tray? Are your memories stirred from years later Does the thought of them give a slight shock? When what Action Man did to poor Barbie Made Tiny Tears' crib really rock? Do you want to have posters of pop stars Surrounding your bright-coloured bed? Would you like now and then To trade-in your old man And spend time with your father instead? Do you wish you could eat what you want to? Not feel guilty for ordering ice cream? That to marry a film star Or Sting Or James Bond Was still an achievable dream? Don't deny the small girl still inside you Say she's something the world shouldn't see For each memory, Each dream Each tear And each scar Make the woman I see before me.
