rainy street,
I caught this scene
Pretty little girl splash
ing puddles with her feet
She was singing a song,
so head strong
Looked like a mom who stood nearby
And she started to cry
for no reason at all
Or maybe for something
she'd already lost
And suddenly I knew
The reason why girls will
cry
Just then, a little boy,
dressed up in corduroy
He stopped to stare at
that little girl there
They were about the same age,
others wore the same shoes
Girl's tears turned to grief,
now the boy was crying too
Looking over my shoulder,
cause I've been there before
Now I'm feeling older
and I don't look anymore, cause
That little girl
is gonna break
that little boy's heart,
someday
That little girl is gonna break
that little boy, someday
Someday
Woman and wife, old friends of mine
Asked me for a ride,
outside the gig last night
She said, let's get high, like old times
Twisted a J, but then he walked away
She said, I love him still,
like she needed to explain
And when Harry appeared he said,
We can't stay cause
the babysitter's home
And now it's getting late
I get tested at my job
And I don't approve
Anyway
That little girl is gonna break
That little boy's heart
Someday
That little girl is gonna
break that little wall
Someday, someday
If you and me were said to be
A child -bearing family
Would you marry me?
Have a home, plant the tree
And paint the nursery
In a couple of years
Or maybe ten
Honey, you know I can
't foresee
When we might settle down
In some small town
And leave behind
This life
And people smile
at a weepin' child
Cause I know their sadness
is gonna pass
And the years will bring
Some real thing to cry
about
That little girl is gonna break
that little boy's heart,
someday
That little girl is gonna break
that little boy's heart, someday
That little boy is gonna
break that little girl
Someday, someday, someday,
someday, someday
