Girl, you'll be a woman soon

I love you so much
Can't count all the ways I've died for you, girl
And all they can say is
He's not your kind
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find

Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know?

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're saying, girl, it cuts like a knife
The boy's no good
Well, I've finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get their chance, they'll end it for sure
Surely would

Baby, I've done all I could
Now it's up to you

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

'Cause, girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, but soon you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
