[Verse One]
It was just the month of May
Words got in my way
Girl I'm so sorry
So I'm reaching out to you
With the hope to see you through
Just another day

Do you see
The words I'm trying to say
But words get in my way
Girl I really mean it
Yes I warned you from the start
That I could break your heart
So girl don't stay

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl

[Verse Two]
I'm the fool that plays the part, the one
That broke your heart
Girl I'm so sorry
So what more can a poor boy do
I'm reaching out to you
So now don't you stay

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl

[Verse Three]
Shades turn red from green to blue
What more can I do
I told you this before
So please walk out that door
I told you from the start
That love could break your heart
Girl I'm so sorry

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl
Oh, oh, oh
Little girl

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
