Little Girl Don't Grow Up Too Fast
Little princess, summer flowers in her hairPlaying Ring Around The Rosie in a picture thereTiptoeing 'round the house in her mama's shoesColoring her lips red in her bedroom
Prom queen wants to be like the magazinesThinks she found her king, barely seventeenToo much that the world's wanting you to doWhen you're still just a child in your mama's shoes
Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing you could just go backDon't you know there'll be plenty of time for thatSomewhere down the road?Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eyeYou can't slow down this thing called lifeSo take your time and let it lastLittle girl, don't grow up too fast
Sometimes I feel like I'm hanging on by a threadClimbing ladders trying to get to the next stepWorking hard, always wanting something moreMissing how things were simple like it was before
Cause it's hard to know just what to doWhen I still feel like a child in my mama's shoes
Little girl, little girl, don't grow up too fast'Fore you know it, you'll be wishing you could just go backDon't you know there'll be plenty of time for thatSomewhere down the road?Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eyeYou can't slow down this thing called lifeSo take your time and let it lastLittle girl, don't grow up too fast
Sometimes I wish I could just go back and say"Take your time and let it last, little girl"
Yeah, it's all gonna fly in the blink of an eyeYou can't slow down this thing called lifeSo take your time and let it lastLittle girl, don't grow up too fastLittle girl, don't grow up too fast
