Maisie – Mahalia

I ask you this,
Now you’re grown,
Do you really wanna walk out on your own?

There’s hurting and bleeding out there,
And a million other reasons to be sacred.
I’m not tryin’a make you worried,
No,
But it can be unfair.

Go home little girl,
A lone little girl.

Oh, they will be,
Sad if you leave,
Cause they won’t see,
The woman you shall be.
So please,
Don’t leave,
Oooh stay,
Maisie.

You don’t have to go,
Just stay another year,
If you’re looking for a home,
You’re already here.

There’s lying and stealing out there,
And a million other reasons I’m scared,
I’m not tryin’a make you worried,
No,
But it can be unfair.

Go home little girl,
A lone little girl.

Oh, they will be,
Sad if you leave,
Cause they won’t see,
The woman you shall be.
So please,
Don’t leave,
Oooh stay,
Maisie.
