Little girl don’t be so quit to give your love so free
Little girl what makes you want to throw yourself with me
Just in your teens you’re lookin’ more like twenty one
You run ahead of life when it’s only just begun.
Don’t you know I may never pass this way again.

Little girl you’d better go before I’d change my mind
Little girl walk away while you still have the time
It’s just a part of growin’ up someday you’ll see
Then you’ll wonder what you ever saw in me.
Don’t you know I may never pass this way again.

Mama sets home awaitin’ you to call by now daddy’s lookin’ tired
Wonder what can she be and what she’s doin’ out now late at night
Little girl you better go before I lose all sense and my control
I’ll be crossed bridge down on the road
And you’ll be left behind to pay the toll
I may never pass this way again.

Little girl wait for him he’ll soon be on his way
Little girl you think within what I’d do today
It’s just a part of growin’ up someday you’ll see
And then you’ll wonder what you ever saw in me.
Don’t you know I may never pass this way again.

I may never pass this way again. hmm…
