The Girl Isn't Ready

The girl isn't ready (twice)

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

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 (twice)

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

The girl isn't ready sure she thinks she is

She walks like a grownup 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
