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'm a 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
    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
