The Girl Isn't Ready - Graham Parker
The girl isn't ready
is what her mother says
We just put her toys away
it seems like yesterday
She has seen something
better through the window
She will reach for it
even though she doesn't know
If she's
[Chorus]
Ready, the girl isn't ready
We can never tell her how to take it steady
She'll be re a dy one day I know
The girl isn't ready
to do what she wants to do
We think that her boyfriend's
like something from a zoo
She thinks that she understands
what she's feeling
She's going to leave us
make no mistake
the wounds won't be healing
[Repeat Chorus]
The girl isn't ready sure
she thinks she is
She walks like a woman
but talks just like a kid
She wants to take on
the world and his brother
Next thing you know
she'll be telling us that
she's a mother
[Repeat Chorus]
