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
