    Raw but high energy soulful, alternative rock tune which dispels the myth of little people or "the other sex" being weak and non-threatening. Ha! Sometimes it's the small, quiet ones you have to watch out for - since they sneak up on you and go for the kill quite adeptly and with the utmost grace and agility.

    Credits: This song is dedicated to all those folks out there who ever doubted my ability to fight fire with fire, thinking I might be just a sweet submissive tender young thing willing to roll over and just take it. This song is a tribute to the power and prowess of all those fiesty and often dangerous little people out there who look deceivingly meek! Words & Music by Nicola Copyright 1999 NicSongs (BMI)

    Story Behind the Song
    I can remember wishing that I were just a bit taller and more of an imposing figure, for most of my life. When you're under 5'5", you usually get labeled as "cute", or "petite", which is all fine and good, until such point as it becomes necessary to stand up for yourself or fight for an issue you believe in, and then you secretly covet those extra inches on your neighbor, so people take you seriously. I suppose I began writing this song as a quasi-fantasy in which there existed this "smaller than ususal being" whose power and menacing abilities were subsequently so completely and utterly underestimated!

    This song idea was looming about in my head for weeks, but I actually sat down and wrote the song from start to finish in one sitting in a matter of a few hours in my living room. It never actually got recorded with a whole band until a year later. There were a lot of mysterious guitar sounds and effects with lots of layering, which took several days in the studio. I laid down my vocals - lead and backgrounds in 1 or 2 takes at about 1:00 in the morning after one too many cups of coffee!

    Lyrics
    One Little Girl
    Words & Music by Nicola - Copyright 1999 NicSongs (BMI)

    Take what you want
    Do what you will
    Everythings a major thrill
    With a smile you attack
    And never look back at your kill

    Oh youre coming home now
    Oh dont it feel good
    Oh youre on a roll now
    Taking down the world the way you do


    How can one little girl get in so much trouble?
    One little girl thats all she is
    One little girl but no small wonder
    You wont even know what hit you


    Say what you feel
    Talk when you want
    Makin sure your friends agree
    And if they dont
    Well never mind
    Dispose them all and then youll see


    Oh youre coming home now
    Oh dont it feel good
    Oh youre on a roll now
    Taking down the world the way you do


    How can one little girl get in so much trouble?
    One little girl thats all she is
    One little girl but no small wonder
    You wont even know what hit you


    Oh She has no rival
    She gives new meaning to bad
    Oh if you are a mountain
    Shell crumble you into sand


    How can one little girl get in so much trouble?
    One little girl thats all she is
    One little girl but no small wonder
    You wont even know what hit you
