It only seems a little while ago
You tied the ribbons in my hair
You taught me everythin'
A little girl should know
And did it all with love and care
Now I'm a woman
But I'm still a child to you
I know the way you feel
But I've got feelings too

And there's nothin' you can do
To change my mind
I'll be heading down the highway
In the morning
I don't mean to be ungrateful or unkind
But there's nothin' you can do
To change my mind

Just remember I'm not leaving you behind
'Cause the love you gave will always be inside me
And I know we gotta meet again sometime
And there's nothin' you can do
To change my mind

I guess you think of
All the games we've played
The bed time stories that you've read
You've got those memories
And they will never fade
But I've got all my life ahead
I'm simply asking you
To understand one thing
Somebody needs me now
And I must run to him

And there's nothin' you can do
To change my mind
I'll be heading down the highway
In the morning

I don't mean to be ungrateful or unkind
But there's nothin' you can do
To change my mind

Just remember I'm not leaving you behind
'Cause the love you gave will always be inside me
And I know we gotta meet again sometime
And there's nothin' you can do
To change my mind

Yes I know we gotta meet again sometime
And there's nothin' you can do
To change my mind
