lyrics

In the blacklight bathroom
of a North Beach barroom
She checks her makeup
I guess I look okay
One day, I may go home again

There's a million like her
and it's no big story
when you're just fifteen and counting
on heaven's mercy
One day, I may go home again

Let it go now
Put it all away before you cry now
Something's gonna work out somehow
Oh... Baby you're a big girl no

And the traffic and the lights and all the noice
it's gonna brighten up that dark place
And the people that you meet they're gonna show you
what you need to know in this place
Anything that comes around don't let it get you down
It's not for always

Let it go now
Somehow
Baby, you're a big girl now
A big girl now

When it's after midnight
and you're on that corner
You can swear you feel the angel
standing at your shoulder
One day, I will go home again

Let it go now
Put it all away before you cry now
Something's gonna work out somehow
Oh... Baby you're a big girl now
Baby you're a big girl now
Baby you're a big girl now
