Little Girl Lost
Lost Innocence: Unveiling the Heartache in Kris Kristofferson's Little Girl Lost
Lyrics
See the little girl lost: walking through this world alone
Describing a young girl who is lost and navigating life alone.
She ain't looking for a lover, she's just looking for a home
She is not seeking romantic love but a place where she belongs.
If you want more than sympathy then look for something else
Suggesting that mere sympathy won't fulfill her needs; she seeks something more.
Cause she's not true to anyone, not even to herself
Highlighting her lack of commitment or loyalty to anyone, including herself.
She'll have sixteen smiling strangers who are handing her a line
She attracts attention from strangers who try to deceive her.
While she's drawing dirty pictures on the black side of your mind
Indicating a tendency to engage in inappropriate or taboo thoughts.
And that body she'll let anybody hold, but the devil's got her soul
Her body is accessible to anyone, but her soul is corrupted.
But if you take her, take her easy
Advice to approach her cautiously if one chooses to get involved.
Treat her gentle, she used to love me
Suggesting that she used to be capable of love but has changed.
See the little girl lost, pleading silently for help
Depicting the girl in a vulnerable state, silently asking for help.
Knowing no one understands her, she don't understand herself
Emphasizing her isolation and lack of self-understanding.
She'll feed your hungry ego til you think you're quite a man
She boosts others' egos to feel like a man, fulfilling their desires.
But you better count your fingers when she turns loose of your hand
Warning of potential deception; one should be cautious in dealings with her.
Cause you're just a game she's playing any way that she can win
Portraying her interactions as a game, with a focus on winning.
And you ain't about to touch her any deeper than her skin
Highlighting the superficial nature of any connection with her.
In that body anybody can control, but the devil's got her soul
Reiterating that her body is accessible, but her soul is corrupted.
But if you take her, take her easy
Repeating the advice to approach with caution if choosing to be with her.
Treat her gentle, she used to love me
Recalling a time when she was capable of gentleness and love.
