Girl, you'll be a woman... soon

I love you so   ,
Can't count all the  
I've   for you girl
And all   can say is
"He's not your   "

They never get tired of putting me  
And I'll never know when I come  
What I'm gonna  
Don't let them   up your mind.
Don't you know...

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

I've been   for all of my life
But what they're saying girl
It cuts like a  
"The boy's no good"
Well I've finally  
What I'm a looking for
But if they get their  
They'll   it for sure
Surely  
Baby I've done all I  
Now it's   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
