Mamma where's your pretty little girl tonight
|
She's tryin' to run before she can walk
|
That's right
|
She's growing up
|
She's got a young man waiting
|
She's growing up
|
She's got a young man waiting
|
|
|
She's wide-eyed
|
She'll be streetwise
|
To the lies
|
And the jive talk
|
But she'll find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
|
|
Now daddy don't you ask her when
|
she's comin' home
|
When she's back don't ask her where
|
she's been
|
She's going out
|
She's got a young man waiting
|
She's going out
|
She's got a young man waiting
|
|
|
She'll be okay
|
Let her have her way
|
It's a long way
|
It's a long walk
|
But she'll find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
She's gonna find true love
|
She's gonna find true love
|
She's gonna find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
|
|
Now I know how much it hurts to see her go
|
But she's got a mind of her own you know
|
She's all grown-up
|
She's got a young man waiting
|
She's all grown-up
|
She's got a young man waiting
|
|
|
She was wide-eyed
|
Now she's streetwise
|
To the lies
|
And the jive talk
|
But she'll find true love
|
And tenderness on the block
|
|
|
She's gonna find true love
|
