Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Front row center in that little white church

I was singin' at a baby layin' in a manger

8 years old, wearin' angel wings

Yeah and to this day, that's what you see

[Verse 2]

I've been daddy's little girl since my first cry

And it was hard turnin' eighteen, sayin' goodbye

You told me I was gonna take the world by storm

And mama said you cried all the way home

[Verse 3]

You think I'm strong, you think I'm fearless

Even when I'm, I'm in my weakest

You always see the best in me when I can't

I wanna be the girl you think I am

[Verse 4]

I got my flaws and I've got regrets

And I know there's more on the road ahead

When I wonder if I'll ever measure up

Oh, I thank God for a father's love

[Verse 5]

'Cause you think I'm brave and you think I'm beautiful

You think that I can do the impossible

You always see the best in me when I can't

I wanna be the girl you think I am

[Verse 6]

Oh whoa, oh whoa

The girl you think I am

Yeah

[Verse 7]

All I want more than anything

Is to make you proud of me

[Verse 8]

'Cause you think I'm strong and you think I'm fearless

Even when I'm, I'm in my weakest

You believe in me, yeah, you're my biggest fan

So I wanna be the girl you think I am

I wanna be the girl you think I am
