Lil Girl

I don’t need to hold your hand in mine
To know and feel your touch
I don’t need to hold your hand in mine
To let you know how much
I don’t need to tell you where I am
Or where it is I’m going to
And I don’t have to say —
You know I do
I don’t need to reassure you
Or make false promises
I don’t need to reassure you
You know it’s all just what it is
I don’t need to reassure you
Hold the door or go before you
And I don’t have to say —
You know I do
I don’t need to explain myself
When I get up to go
I don’t need to explain myself
Somehow I think you know
I’ll just tell you what you already knew
But you were hoping wasn’t true
And I don’t have to say —
You know I do
I don’t feel I need to pay you back
What you know I can’t afford
I don’t feel I need to pay you back
When giving’s its own reward
I don’t need to exact revenge
Or say I’ll make it up to you
And I don’t have to say —
You know I do
