Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight
|
Trying to run before she can walk - that's right
|
She's growing up
|
She has a young man waiting
|
She's growing up
|
She has a young man waiting
|
Wide eyes
|
She'll be street-wise
|
To the lies
|
And the jive talk
|
She'll find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
|
Daddy, don't you ask her when she's coming in
|
And when she's home don't ask her where she's been
|
She's going out
|
She has a young man waiting
|
She's going out
|
Can't keep her young man waiting
|
She'll be okay
|
Let her have her day
|
It's a long way
|
It's a long walk
|
She'll find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
|
I know how much it hurts to see her go
|
She has a mind of her own, you know
|
She's all grown up
|
She has a young man waiting
|
She's all grown up
|
She has a young man waiting
|
She was wide-eyed
|
Now she's street-wise
|
To the lies
|
And the jive talk
|
She'll find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
She'll find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
