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
