Girl

You'll be a woman soon

Love you so much, can't count all the ways

I've died for you, girl, and all they can say is

"He's not your kind"

They never get tired of putting me down

And I'll never know when I come around

What I'm gonna find

Don't let them make up your mind

Don't you know, girl

You'll be a woman soon

Please, come take my hand

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Soon, you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life

What they're saying, girl, "It cuts like a knife"

The boy's no good

Well, I've finally found what I'm looking for

But if they get their chance, they'll end it for sure

Surely would

Baby, I've done all I could

Now, it's up to you, girl

You'll be a woman soon

Please, come take my hand

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Soon, you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Please, come take my hand

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Soon, you'll need a man
