I'm taking my first riding lesson today
Down at Pine Hollow, I'll make friends they say
But what if my horse starts to gallop away
I don't want to look foolish
I don't want to be seen
Out of control, an emergency

Cuz all I've ever wanted is a horse of my own
A bridle, a saddle, as dry as a bone
And one cozy stable where he'd feel like home
A pony is a girl's best friend, you know
A pony is a girl's best friend

I've watched all the videos, read magazines
I know every color, the markings, the breeds
And how they love grooming and walk makes them gleam
I'm a little bit nervous
I've had no experience
But I'm excited like I've never been

Cuz all I've ever wanted is a horse of my own
A bridle, a saddle, as dry as a bone
And one cozy stable where he'd feel like home
A pony is a girl's best friend, you know
A pony is a girl's best friend

Here I go, I'm climbing into the saddle
I'm holding on, I'm steering us with this bridle
In a circle
I've jumped a hurdle today
And I'll be back tomorrow

Cuz all I've ever wanted is a horse of my own
A bridle, a saddle, dry as a bone
And one cozy stable where he'd feel like home
And never again would I feel I'm alone
A pony is a girl's best friend, you know
A pony is a girl's best friend
