Before I sleep, I cry
I dont like to sit upon your lap
and cuddle close to you.
I dont like it when you touch me
and do the things you do.
I know i shouldnt do it
althought i dont know why,
but everytime it happens
before I sleep I cry!
Dont tell me that its all my fault
or I'm the one to blame,
because I am just a little girl
and I cant share your shame.
Dont smack me when I'm naughty
and watch me get undressed.
Dont let me see you without your clothers
and when its time for bed, please let me rest!
Soon it will be time to go
and mom wont let you near me.
Then when i give a cry for help
someone will be there to hear me.
I'm glad I wont have to stay here,
then you'll leave me alone.
I'll be glad when I'm a big girl
and then I can take a bath on my own!
