Little Miss Taken

Marti Stevens, 2000

So, I'm not twenty-three
I'm not as thin as I used to be
The hands of time keep checking boxes
Turning pages and counting losses
I'm not exactly what you wanted
My foolish pride remains undaunted
My advances seem forsaken
Or am I simply mistaken

I was thinking just for one night
We could be alone and not fight

I'm a little mistaken
I'm a little mistaken
You know what they call me
You know what they say
I'm a Little Miss Taken

My friends around me try and tell me
Not to buy the crap you sell me
I don't see it quite that way, yeah
I know that you'll love me someday

I was thinking just for one night, oh
We could be alone and make it all right

I'm a little mistaken
Little mistaken, oh
You know what they call me
You know what they say
I'm a little mistaken
Little mistaken
You know what they call me
You know what they say
I'm a Little Miss

I was thinking just for one night
We could be alone and shut out the light

I'm a little mistaken
Little mistaken
Little mistaken, taken, taken
You know what they call me
You know what they say
I'm a Little Miss Taken

So I'm not twenty-three
I'm not as thin as I used to be
