[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Wide eyes, she'll be street-wise
To the lies and the jive talk
But she'll find true love
And tenderness on the block

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Shе'll be okay, let her havе her day
'Cause it's a long way, it's a long walk
But she'll find true love
And tenderness on the block

[Instrumental Break]
