Meaning

A man pleading to the girl he loves, that she look at him, and understand him. The world has already declared him to be a loser, someone who is not in the same league as the girl he is pleading to. The world has clearly misunderstood him, and his earnestness speaks for itself. He realizes that she needs a man, and tells her that he is the one. He asks her to come and take his hand

Lyrics

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
Play with the song, fill the gaps
