about

Stevie Wonder (one of my early heroes) recorded a tune called “Sweet Little Girl” on his Music of My Mind album in 1972. I say this not because this tune has anything to do with that funky little number, but as exhibit A in defense of my use of the term “little girl” in reference to a lover throughout this song. Why am I being defensive about that term? Because a certain person tells me that the lyric makes them think of a pedophiliac. Now I know that this is no a topic to joke about in any way whatsoever, so I’ll just remind that certain person, that Mr. Wonder used the same term back in 1972. Furthermore, this is one of my better early lyrics, with it’s cool metaphors about space, gravity and love, so let’s just drop the whole subject. OK?

lyrics

Little world
How I love the way you turn
It turns me on
And litle girl
I revolve around the world
That you live on
Your little moon
I can’t help myself
Your pull is much too strong
Give me a whirl
And I’ll let the sun shine on you
All day long

You turn and spin
In all of your circles
You don’t have a care
While I’m swirling
All around you
And your not even aware
Thoough I’m trying
I just cannot find the strength
To dissapear
Please let me in
I’m about to burn up
In your atmosphere

BRIDGE:
Little world
I’m so lonely
Little girl
Your my only
Little me
I’m so lonely
But if only
You would be my
Little girl
Little world

You turn and spin
In all of your circles
You don’t have a care
While I’m swirling
All around you
And your not even aware
Thoough I’m trying
I just cannot find the strength
To dissapear
Please let me in
I’m about to burn up
In your atmosphere

BRIDGE:
