Hey, little angel,
it feels like summer
Your feet in the water
You care about nothing
All the girls got a secret
and they won't tell
but your mother always sees you crying
when you're by yourself
You don't stay [to] play after school
You go straight down to the water
and bury your braids in the sand
Everyone's looking at you
Just a few more days lying
come January
So play, play
Hey, little angel,
you're not alone
Your mother's in the yard watching
your little one
