Hey little girl
You might not know this song
This is not the kind of song
That you can sing along to
Hey little girl
Maybe some day
At least that’s what all
The good people will say

Hey little girl
Look what you’ve done
You’ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own
You’ve stole my heart
And made it your own
Hey little girl
Black and white and right and wrong
Only live inside a song
That I will sing to you
You don’t ever have to feel lonely
You will never lose any tears
You don’t have to feel any sadness
When you look back on the years

How can I look you in the eyes
And tell you such big lies
The best I can do is try to show you
How to love with no fear
My little girl
You’ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your
You’ve stole my heart
And made it your

    General Comment:Just watched 50 First Dates again and idk, it kinda fits in somehow... the theme of love and being unable to protect someone.

    General Comment:I love how he dedicates My Little Girl and Anything But The Truth to his kids.
    Both of them are about not being able to protect them all the time, but he's able to help them in little ways.

    General Comment:When Jack sang this in concert this summer it really made me tear up. It's short and simple but you can feel his heart went into it and it's a very easy song to relate to. It made me think of how I was thinking when my baby niece was born. Just lovely!

    General Comment:such a beautiful song. it's pretty straightforward, even though he can write her the most perfect songs about love and wonderful things he knows he can't protect his daughter from the real world, all he can do is 'try to show her how to love with no fear.'
